Auburn University Dream Makers
Auburn University Dream Makers
Auburn University Dream Makers (AUDM) is a student-led philanthropic organization committed to improving the lives of children and families through fundraising, service, and storytelling. Formerly known as Auburn University Dance Marathon, AUDM has raised more than $4.5 million to support pediatric healthcare initiatives since its founding.
In 2025, AUDM launched a new partnership with East Alabama Health to meet the growing need for infant and pediatric services in our region. With the Auburn-Opelika area among the fastest-growing in the state, this local partnership allows students to have a direct and lasting impact on families right here at home.
This partnership is built on the AUDM trifecta—1.) a model of impact that includes raising critical funds, 2.) volunteering with patients and families, and 3.) honoring Dream Families whose stories inspire the mission. Support from AUDM benefits key programs at East Alabama Medical Center, including the level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), pediatric care, and family-centered resources that make a difference every day.
East Alabama Health is honored to walk alongside the Auburn University Dream Makers as we expand care, uplift families, and help ensure that every child has access to the comfort, care, and community they deserve.
