About Ashley Crouse

On April 12, 2005 the IU campus suffered a loss that was felt throughout the entire IU community. Ashley Crouse, a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority and IUDM Executive Council, became our angel on that tragic day.

For those who knew Ashley, they will always remember her warm smile, welcoming personality and passion for life. As VP of Communications on the IU Dance Marathon Executive Council, Ashley worked hard and made the quote, “If you can dream it, you can do it,” a way of life for IUDM.

Ashley’s hometown of Carmel, Indiana has joined with IUDM to create one of the most successful high school dance marathon in the nation. CDM raised over $159,000 in 2009 in memory of Ashley, for the kids at Riley Hospital for Children.

We honor her life and the way that she lived it by wearing her initials, ALC, on all Dance Marathon apparel and literature. When you see Ashley’s initials, remember to live each day to its fullest and to never stop reaching for your dreams.
