University of Louisville students laced up their dancing shoes, put on their headbands and cracked open cases of energy drinks to keep the energy high for RaiseRed this year.
The 18-hour dance marathon serves as the culmination of a yearlong fundraising event for research to end pediatric cancer and blood disease.
This year, RaiseRed dancers raised $682,483.71.
All of the funds are donated to the University of Louisville’s pediatric oncology and hematology clinic.
Hannah Esrock, one of the sponsorship coordinators for the event, was able to be a part of the reveal.
