raiseRED's Impact
RaiseRED is the largest student-run philanthropic organization at the University of Louisville. In the past eleven years, we have raised over $5 million for the Norton Children's Cancer Institute and the University of Louisville School of Medicine's Division of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology. Half of our funds support patient needs, while the other half goes to research for cures and more effective treatments.
​
This year-long fundraising effort culminates in an 18-hour dance marathon every February to honor the children we fight for. Not only does our organization raise money for the hospital but we build relationships with the families. We have a unique program that matches children with our leadership and hosts events that let them just be kids.
