Maxine and Rex Hupy, children of Michael F. Hupy, helped raise a record breaking $1,019,130 for the Children’s Heart Foundation (CHF) through the Northwestern University’s Dance Marathon. CHF is the only organization created solely to fund the necessary research to save the lives of those affected by congenital heart defects. Congenital heart defects are responsible for the deaths of nearly 1,000,000 children every year. Hupy and Abraham, S.C. helped sponsor the 30-hour long Dance Marathon for the 4^th year in a row.

Now in its 37^th year, Northwestern University’s Dance Marathon is one of the largest student-run philanthropies, having raised more than $12 million since its foundation in 1975.

Maxine has been recognized as the “Committee Member to raise the most money” for the second year in a row. Rex was the philanthropy chair of his fraternity (Chi Psi), winning “Outstanding Joint Philanthropic Event” this year.
