It doesn't matter the cause, but hard work can definitely pay off.

This time, it paid off for some great students here in Tuscaloosa.

A group of very dedicated University of Alabama students has much to be proud of after setting a fundraising record over the weekend.

The group, UA Miracle, was raising money to support pediatric care at Children’s of Alabama in Birmingham.

The fundraising record of $394,178 for Children's of Alabama came through the annual BAMAthon event on Feb 28th.

The event, known as an 11-hour dance marathon, celebrates patients and families that are served by Children’s of Alabama while raising money for research, family support, and general pediatric healthcare.

These students work all year long to raise funds for worthy causes in Alabama.
