About Stay-Up UB

Stay-Up UB is an annual UB Dance Party!

Friday, November 13th, 2009 from 6pm – 2am.

It is an annual initiative for the UB Community to continue building pride and tradition while participating in a philanthropy event to raise money for local and global charities. Each year, the money raised from Stay-Up UB through individual, group and team fundraising as well as department and corporate sponsors will benefit a select charitable organization. This year, all money raised and pajama donations received will be going to the Buffalo chapter of the Pajama Program. The Pajama Program is a non-profit organization that provides new, warm pajamas and books to children in need.

In addition to a huge dance floor with a DJ, video screen and live performances, there are themed dance hours, UB group performances, free food & drinks, free giveaways, contests, and many activities to keep students entertained for the whole evening. Students are encouraged to register as teams, dance the night away, have fun and enjoy the activities all night long!

All students, faculty and staff are encouraged to participate in this event!

The 2009 Stay-Up UB schedule is now posted at http://www.student-affairs.buffalo.edu/stayup/schedule.php

Lots of FREE Food and Entertainment!

FAQs

Q: Can I participate as an individual, or only as part of a campus group?
A: Every student at UB is welcome and encouraged to get involved. You do not need to be a part of a campus group, however teams are encouraged.

Q: How big does my team have to be?
A: There is no minimum or maximum number of people required to be on a team. A Team can be a group of friends, a club or organization, or a department.

Q: Where does the money for this event go?
A: The money raised through group, team, and individual fundraising will be going into the UB Cares fund. Each year, the Stay-Up UB Committee selects a different charity to donate the fundraised money to. This year, the money raised and pajama donations will be donated to the Buffalo chapter of the Pajama Program, a non-profit organization that provides new, warm pajamas and books to children in need.

Q: How do I get started?
A: Registration is easy. Each individual must register separately, even if they are part of a team. Just click on the registration tab through this website and follow the instructions listed. If you are participating as part of a team, just be sure to designate that when instructed. Please note there is a $10 registration fee that can be paid online (no processing fee) when you register.  New this year, we are also accepting a donation of a NEW pair of pajama’s (any size from infant to adult XXL) instead of paying the registration fee.

Q: How can I help?
A: There are two ways you can help. One is to register and fundraise with your friends. The other is to simply volunteer. We are looking for volunteers to help with check-in, running events, showing UB pride, and with other various bits and pieces to ensure the night is a success. If you are interested in volunteering, please visit the Center for Student Leadership & Community Engagement (235 Student Union) to sign-up to volunteer.Volunteers are asked to donate $5 or a new pair of pajama’s and are invited to spend the evening at the event before/after their volunteer shift.

Q: How do I fundraise?
A: There are two ways you can fundraise.

1. After you registered, you will receive a confirmation email with a letter you can email to your family and friends asking for their support. Sponsorship and/or donations can be made online through this website (in the Fundraising Tab). In the letter, potential sponsors will be given instructions on how to make sure that their donation is submitted on behalf of your participation, by entering your name and your assigned code (which will be designated in your confirmation email).
2. You may also fundraise on your own and bring all your money and checks to the check in table on the night of Stay-Up UB. All checks must be made payable to: UB Foundation.
