UDANCE

UDance is a 12-hour philanthropic dance marathon hosted at the University of Delaware, uniting the campus community in the fight against pediatric cancer. As the largest student-run philanthropy at UD, it has raised millions of dollars since its inception in 2007, directly benefiting The Andrew McDonough B+ Foundation. This foundation supports families of children battling cancer and funds critical research efforts to find cures.

The event is the culmination of year-round fundraising by student organizations, individuals, and the broader UD community. UDance is not just a single day—it’s a movement that inspires hope, celebrates strength, and fosters lasting connections between students and their B+ Heroes, children who are battling or have survived cancer. The event is a time for the community to come together, honor these Heroes, and feel the impact of their efforts.

Lambda Chi Alpha takes immense pride in supporting UDance and our B+ Hero, Ayden. Ayden has been a part of our UDance family for years, and his story of resilience continues to inspire us all. Participating in UDance allows our chapter to not only contribute to a worthy cause but also build a personal connection with the children and families we support.

From creative fundraising events to collective efforts within the fraternity, our involvement in UDance is a cornerstone of our commitment to philanthropy. It is a powerful reminder of the positive change that can come from working together as a community.

Lambda Chi Alpha is deeply committed to philanthropy and community engagement. Our chapter partners with organizations like Feeding America to combat hunger and runs several creative events to support our causes.

We host a Haunted House in collaboration with Alpha Sigma Alpha and organize S’mores and Hot Chocolate events, both of which are beloved traditions that foster community spirit while supporting important initiatives. Additionally, our chapter continues to organize food drives and other campus-wide events to make a difference in the lives of those in need.

We take great pride in our contributions and remain dedicated to making a positive impact both on and off campus.
