All You Need to Know about the UDance Marathon

bplusUDance began five years ago in 2007 by Jessie Forman. The first UDance was held in the Trabant MPR's and sponsored by Greek organizations Sigma Phi Epsilon and Alpha Epsilon Phi. The first year, UDance raised $8,000. In 2009, UDance raised $25,000 in the University Field House and became a registered student organization. In 2010, UDance quadrupled the previous years money and raised $118,000. This year UDance hopes to raise $200,000. To see how you can help make this possible, please contact our fundraising chairs or create your own page on our online fundraising website!

UDance benefits The Andrew McDonough B+ Foundation. The B+ (Be Positive) Foundation honors the memory of Andrew McDonough who passed away at age 14 from complications of leukemia. With your help, UDance will continue to support the B+ foundations three specific objectives; Keep the B+ Message alive, Provide financial assistance for families of critically ill children, and Sponsor research to find cures for pediatric cancer and advancements in chemotherapy.

When can I start raising money?

UDance is really a year long event, we encourage you to begin raising money as soon as the school year begins! We like to think of UDance as the "party" for our fundraising efforts throughout the year.
