UDance Dance Marathon: Event Support
Help make UDance possible by covering venue costs and giving B+ Heroes a day of joy and celebration.

About this Project

Do you remember the magic of UDance? Imagine a day filled with endless smiles, laughter and hope—where children fighting childhood cancer, our B+ Heroes, feel like the superheroes they truly are. For families facing unimaginable battles, UDance is more than an event. It’s a day of joy, togetherness and celebration. 

B+ Hero Riley writes, “My favorite UDance memory was my first year of UDance. I was 7 years old, and I was singing ‘Shake It Off’ by Taylor Swift. I was nervous to go on stage, but I was excited too! When I got on stage, I remember picking up the microphone, the song started playing and I sang. I remember everyone cheering and my sisters dancing in the background. Once the song was over, I walked off stage and I felt super happy. Everyone was so nice and told me how good it was. I’m almost 13, and I still remember!”

Creating lifelong memories for our B+ Heroes comes with a cost. To make UDance possible, we need $35,000 to rent the Bob Carpenter Center. Your support will ensure that for one special day, these families feel the love and strength of a united community, reminding them they are never alone in their fight. 

UDance is the largest student-run philanthropy event at the University of Delaware. Visit udancedelaware.org to learn more about our mission.

Your donation directly covers the venue cost, UDance's largest operating expense, and allows us us to focus our efforts on supporting the B+ Heroes and their families.
