DanceBlue is an entirely student-run organization that fundraises year-round for the DanceBlue Hematology/Oncology Clinic and culminates in a 24-hour no sitting, no sleeping dance marathon. DanceBlue’s mission is to honor the final request Jarrett Mynear to “do something to help the Clinic.” As a student-run philanthropy at the University of Kentucky, DanceBlue raises funds and awareness for the fight against pediatric cancer while supporting patients and families affected by it. Funds raised by DanceBlue support the DanceBlue Hematology/Oncology Clinic at Kentucky Children’s Hospital.

You can be involved as a dancer on a team that fundraises throughout the year to participate in the 24-hour dance marathon. Or you can keep an eye out for Committee Applications to open in the spring semester! The organization frequently posts on Instagram @uk_danceblue with new information on how to get involved. Look for our signature events like DB5K, Silent Auction, and DBU for more ways to participate!
