NEWARK, Del. — UDance is the university’s largest student-run philanthropy benefiting the Wilmington, Delaware based Andrew McDonough B+ Foundation.
In March, the organization celebrated a year’s worth of fundraising during its 11th annual twelve-hour dance marathon. UDance is the fifth largest college dance marathon in the nation with over 2,000 student participants.
Throughout the academic year, students raised a total of more than $1.8 million. Funds provide financial assistance to families of children battling pediatric cancer and also fund cutting edge, life-saving research studies.
Area students who participated in the event include:
- Lauren Graupman of Pittsford as a Moraler
- Sara Roberts of Pittsford as a Dancer
- Matthew Zink of Fairport as a Dancer
All WNY is made possible thanks to coffee and sleep deprivation.
