UDance was founded in 2007 by Jessie Forman and has grown substantially in thirteen years. The first UDance was held in the Trabant Student Center at University of Delaware and was sponsored by two Greek organizations - Sigma Phi Epsilon and Alpha Epsilon Phi. In 2009, The Andrew McDonough B+ (Be Positive) Foundation partnered with UDance and helped the event grow significantly. 

Today, UDance is an event that brings together the entire university community. Students spend the academic year raising awareness and funds in the fight against childhood cancer, and truly feel the cumulation of their efforts on the day of the event in the spring. UDance continues to benefit The B+ Foundation, which honors the memory of Andrew McDonough. Over the past 17 years, UDance has raised $16,503,119.50 For The Kids.
