Over 900 U of L students raised $322,412.85 for pediatric cancer research at the seventh RaiseRED Dance Marathon this weekend. The amount was close to $100,000 more than what was raised last year, and was $22,000 above the goal of $300,000.

The 18-hour event is the only student-run organization to support medical research at U of L. Students host various festivities throughout the school year in efforts to raise money for pediatric cancer and blood disease research, culminating in the no-sitting marathon.
