Description

This is McCracken County's second year to host a DanceBlue Mini Marathon. Our inaugural year we were surprised with a donation from Nate's Wish, a charity created to provide encouragement to children newly diagnosed with cancer through the gift of Nate's Wish backpacks. As their fundraising efforts came to a close, Nate's family chose MCHS's DB Mini Marathon as their way of continuing Nate's legacy of bringing a smile to the faces of children with cancer. Our students at MCHS dance for students like Nate and hope that we can bring joy to their lives by raising money to help in their treatments.


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 percentage of net proceeds for DanceBlue will be invested in perpetuity to support pediatric cancer research and support.
