Description
The University of Kentucky's DanceBlue Committee consists of 11 Chairs, 41 coordinators, and 130 committee members who collaborate year-round to host fundraisers and events on behalf of the organization. DanceBlue will be celebrating its 20th anniversary at the upcoming Marathon this spring and is thrilled to be honoring Jarrett Mynear's memory 'til the battle is won!
DanceBlue
is a University of Kentucky student-run organization that fundraises year-round
and culminates in a 24-hour no sitting, no sleeping dance marathon. DanceBlue
raises funds and awareness for the fight against pediatric cancer while supporting
patients and families affected by it. The money raised through DanceBlue is
donated to the Golden Matrix Fund, established to support the kids of the
DanceBlue Hematology/Oncology Clinic at Kentucky Children's Hospital, both
today and well into the future. The Golden Matrix Fund supports groundbreaking
pediatric oncology research, enhances the patient experience, and supports
Clinic Operations. DanceBlue will continue to spread joy to those fighting, to
persevere in memory of the lives lost, and to celebrate every victory until the
battle against pediatric cancer is won.
A portion of the charitable gifts for DanceBlue will be invested in perpetuity to support pediatric cancer research and support.
