Welcome to the new school year and our new raiseRED blog! We wanted to make a blog to better connect our dancers, alumni, sponsors and supporters of the events we host as well as the Dance Marathon.
During this upcoming year, we want to use this blog to keep you updated on all of the events we will be hosting, allow you to meet the members of our team, and to share some inspiring stories. We will be having members write about why they dance and maybe even a few families write about what raiseRED means to them.
raiseRED is an 18-hour Dance Marathon benefitting the University of Louisville clinic, Department of Pediatric Oncology and Hematology. It is the largest student-run philanthropy on campus and continues to grow and expand each year. raiseRED is a year-long fundraiser that culminates in February at the 18 hour dance marathon full of friends, dancing, testimonies of patients, games, food, and fun! In 2014's RaiseRED, over 750 dancers registered and raised 75% more than the year before reaching the fundraising total of $150,936.89.
The raiseRED E-Board has already been hard at work all summer planning for raiseRED 2015, and we think it is going to be one for the books. To keep updated on what events are coming up in the RaiseRED community, be sure to stay tuned and we look forward to dancing all night long with everybody!
For The Kids,
