THAT should be a MAJOR point in your resume!!! You wouldn't necessarily list it under "employment", but it could be under the "experience" header, or "relevant skills", something like that.
If you've done that much with Dance Marathon, I would check out Children's Miracle Network, St. Jude's Foundation, Susan G. Komen, etc. Think of the companies/non profits that are active in your area, find out who you can talk to and see if they can give you any advice on how to "break in" to the field. (I doubt they would be advertising on Monster.com anyway..their local offices would do local searches).
You could also consider a development job with a university to start with (especially one that has a large music program). Higheredjobs.com has 177 listings right now under "Development and FundRaising". That could get you going in the right direction.
