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 at the Univeristy of Kentucky. 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.

Since 2015, Lafayette has hosted a smaller 6-hour DanceBlue mini-marathon to help raise funds for the DanceBlue clinic. This is one of the best nights of the year that supports such a worthy cause!

Our DanceBlue Mini Marathons supports DanceBlue’s mission through fundraising and community engagement. Instead of 24 hours, our marathon consists of a 6 hour event with programming including games, performances, food, and plenty of dancing! Team members from UK's DanceBlue join us for the night to help teach the line dance. Throughout the school year, Student Council hosts countless events and fundraisers to work towards our goal.
