History
Superdance was created in 1975 by Monsignor James McMurtrie to help raise money to find a cure for Cystic Fibrosis, which had caused the death of Brenda O'Donnell, an O'Connell student, in 1975. Her sister, Maura O'Donnell, who also suffered from CF, helped start Superdance in her sister's honor. Maura later graduated from Bishop O'Connell and began nursing school, only to die a few weeks before her graduation of Cystic Fibrosis.
