DanceBlue to host fundraiser at Greyline Station
LEXINGTON, Ky. (Nov. 10, 2022) — DanceBlue is hosting a fundraiser at Greyline Station in Lexington noon-6 p.m. Friday, Nov. 18, 2022.
Greyline Station, a 65,000 square foot complex located at 101 West Loudon Ave., is home to a variety of local retail stores, restaurants and event spaces. Greyline Station also houses Julietta Market, which is a public market that features small business kiosks, pop-up shops and galleries from local vendors and artists.
DanceBlue is a philanthropic student organization at the University of Kentucky. Each year in the spring, UK students gather in Memorial Coliseum to stand for 24 hours to support the patients in the DanceBlue Kentucky Children’s Hospital Hematology/Oncology Clinic. Leading up to the dance marathon, students fundraise all year long for their chance to dance.
Seven businesses are participating in the DanceBlue fundraiser: Forage Plants, Old North, North Lime Coffee and Donuts, Rise Up Pizza, Vintage Therapy, Poppy & Pomelo and Nourished Folks. Each of these businesses is donating a portion of their sales from the day to DanceBlue.
If you are unable to attend the fundraiser but would still like to support DanceBlue, you can make a donation at this link.
DanceBlue hosts several fundraisers and events — such as the annual DB5K and silent auction — throughout the year to raise money for the Golden Matrix Fund, which supports the kids and families of the Kentucky Children’s Hospital Hematology/Oncology Clinic.

As the state’s flagship, land-grant institution, the University of Kentucky exists to advance the Commonwealth. We do that by preparing the next generation of leaders — placing students at the heart of everything we do — and transforming the lives of Kentuckians through education, research and creative work, service and health care. We pride ourselves on being a catalyst for breakthroughs and a force for healing, a place where ingenuity unfolds. It's all made possible by our people — visionaries, disruptors and pioneers — who make up 200 academic programs, a $476.5 million research and development enterprise and a world-class medical center, all on one campus.
In 2022, UK was ranked by Forbes as one of the “Best Employers for New Grads” and named a “Diversity Champion” by INSIGHT into Diversity, a testament to our commitment to advance Kentucky and create a community of belonging for everyone. While our mission looks different in many ways than it did in 1865, the vision of service to our Commonwealth and the world remains the same. We are the University for Kentucky.
