What is DanceBlue?

DanceBlue is a student-run philanthropy at the University of Kentucky. It is a yearlong fundraising effort involving over a thousand UK students, which culminates to a 24-hour no-sitting, no-sleeping dance marathon on UK's campus benefitting the Golden Matrix Fund. All of the money raised by DanceBlue goes to DanceBlue Kentucky Children’s Hospital Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Clinic. DanceBlue has been active for over 13 years, raising more than $12.8 million solely "For The Kids." In 2018, more than 900 dancers helped raise money to support the cause of pediatric cancer.
