What we Love to do
We are the University of Delaware Synchronized Skating Team. We are a group of 20 young women whose passion and love for the sport has brought us together from all over the country. We have had to overcome many adversities and obstacles in order to achieve our title as 21- time Eastern Sectional Champions. Taking time to accept one another and work together is how we become a cohesive unit.
Trying to manage schedules as full time students at the university and bringing together 20 unique student athletes to compete at the national level is not an easy task! Between juggling classes, homework and practices we have become masters at time management and have learned to lean on one another. Our genuine, caring and friendly attitudes have created a sisterhood and a home away from home. This season is off to a “sweet” start and we cannot wait to see what the future has in store for us. Many hearts, one beat.
“Many Hearts, One Beat”
UDance
Once again this year, UDSST is joining UDance, a student-run organization at the University of Delaware, to raise funds and awareness for the fight against childhood cancer, while instilling hope in children suffering from these diseases. Our year-long effort culminates with a 12-hour dance marathon in March. UDance believes that college students have the power to end childhood cancer and is determined to do its part in the fight.
UDance partners with The Andrew McDonough B+ Foundation to provide direct and immediate financial aid to families affected by childhood cancer while also funding cutting-edge research. Since its inception in 2007, UDance has raised over $11 million, and in 2019, the UD community raised over $2.25 million. Furthermore, UDance offers emotional support to these children, the B+ Heroes, by pairing them with organizations at UD.
Our goal this year is to raise over $2,500 FTK! Please consider donating or sharing our team page to help us reach our goal!
Your generous donation will provide hope, encouragement and immediate financial support to children and families nationwide. Thank you in advance for supporting UDSST as we dedicate ourselves to one day living in a world without childhood cancer. One day we will dance in celebration. Until then, we dance for cure.
