Sarah discusses the history of the yearly dance marathon, which raises money for the children’s hospital, in a YouTube video.

She also informed Kelly of the several more ways kids generate money to assist sick children throughout the year.

That being said, Sarah declines to accept any or all of the credit during the interview. She continually

draws attention to the kids, stating that without them and their commitment, nothing would have been possible.

According to Sarah, her original motivation for becoming a teacher was to improve the lives of others. She continues by saying that the yearly dance marathon has allowed her to accomplish that.

Around the 5:20-minute mark in the film, Kelly surprised Sarah with a video featuring students from throughout the nation who participated in the fundraising efforts.

They compliment her for her ‘mission-driven fundraising’ and ‘pouring her entire heart, soul, and life’ into her students, and they all praise her for her many kind and caring efforts.

The Indiana educator breaks down in tears. As she receives compliments and lovely words from her former students, she brushes her eyes multiple times.

The teacher receives a $25,000 check for Riley Children’s Hospital at IU Health at the conclusion of the video.
