RaiseRED is the University of Louisville's largest student-run organization philanthropic organization, supporting the pediatric clinical and medical research efforts at the University of Louisville. RaiseRED provides year-round support to the children, families, doctors, and staff fighting pediatric cancer and blood disorders at UofL and Norton Children's Cancer Institute, affiliated with the UofL School of Medicine.
50% of the donations to raiseRED directly benefit the research of the UofL School of Medicine's Department of Pediatrics' Division of Hematology and Oncology. The other 50% goes to the Norton Children's Cancer Institute affiliated with the UofL School of Medicine to provide services and treat needs for the children and their families going through treatment in the Hematology and Oncology Clinic. In years past, raiseRED funding created a position for a much-needed social worker in the clinic, helped support Dr. Raj and Dr. Tse's research initiatives, and supported hundreds of children fighting terrible diseases.
