This year s raiseRED dance marathon will look different than this, with mostly virtual events, but the goal is the same: to fight pediatric cancer. raiseRed, UofL’s largest student-run philanthropic organization that raises money to fight pediatric cancer and blood disorders, will look stunningly different this year. The COVID-19 pandemic has gutted the signature 18-hour dance marathon and its emotional, sweat-and-tear-filled fundraising reveal. That’s not to say the show won’t go on, however. raiseRED has shifted its entire model to include a number of virtual components, and also some socially-distanced features at the SAC. “Cancer doesn’t stop because of a pandemic. We still need to do what we can for these kids,” said senior Benjamin Gerdes, internal projects coordinator for the organization.
