WHY WE RACE?

SCHS/GCHS DANCEBLUE is an organization of students who raise funds year-round for the University of Kentuckys Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Unit. These students work together to host individual fundraisers that go towards their annual donation total for the University of Kentuckys DanceBlue grand total. In two years, the youth committee has raised a total of $29,812.61, and plans to reach this years goal of $25,000. All donated funds to this organization support groundbreaking pediatric oncology research, enhance the patient experience, and support Clinic Operations.
