LEXINGTON, Ky. (Feb. 1, 2021) — The rivalry between the University of Kentucky and the University of Louisville has been a staple of the athletics culture in Kentucky since its beginning. The two schools love to hate one another to the point that some fans won’t even wear the colors of the rival school.
However, there is one thing that both schools have in common: their dedication to bettering the state of Kentucky. That is what the Commonwealth Cup is all about.
Scheduled for Feb. 8-11, the Commonwealth Cup brings the dance marathons of both schools, the University of Kentucky’s DanceBlue and the University of Louisville’s raiseRED, together in an attempt to fundraise $50,000 collectively for the respective hospitals the dance marathons benefit. For DanceBlue, money raised will benefit the DanceBlue Kentucky Children’s Hospital Hematology/Oncology Clinic. For raiseRED, money raised will benefit the Norton Children’s Cancer Institute and the UofL Department of Pediatric Oncology and Hematology.
The fundraiser will be held via both of the dance marathons’ social media. There will be posts daily that highlight the fundraiser itself, the impact of each organization, and how much money has been raised collectively. Templates for students to use fundraising will also be posted.
In addition to the daily posts, there will also be two events held Wednesday, Feb. 10. These events include a TikTok competition all day, in which the dance marathon with the most engagement on their TikTok posted that day wins, and a virtual bingo event at 7 p.m., in which everyone is welcome to attend and have the opportunity to win some prizes from either DanceBlue or raiseRED.
DanceBlue and raiseRed sincerely hope that you will consider joining them in this goal of raising $50,000 collectively “For The Kids” and for Kentucky. If you would like to join the fundraising effort, you can donate to DanceBlue here and raiseRED here.
If you are not able to donate at this time, you are invited to follow DanceBlue (Instagram - @uk_danceblue, Facebook - DanceBlue, Twitter/TikTok - @ukdanceblue) and raiseRED (Instagram/Twitter - @raisered_uofl, Facebook - RaiseRED, TikTok - @raisered) on social media and participate in all of the events of the week.
