BuckeyeThon

After a brief hiatus, we are BACK and excited to update you all on what BuckeyeThon has been up to for the last couple of years 😁Here's what you might have missed at the most recent Dance Marathon in February!

“Every Kid Deserves to be a …”

We believe that every kid deserves to be whatever they want-doctors, singers, baseball players. Thousands of children are diagnosed with cancer or blood disorders every year, yet only 4% of federal funding goes towards pediatric cancer research 😯.

Today’s Day of Miracles is Buckeye themed- because every kid deserves to be a Buckeye! Wear your Ohio State gear to your classes and our events today!

With your help today, we can make an impact on kids health and change the future 🤩!

Donate at go.OSU.edu/BT!

Good morning Buckeyes!🌰

On behalf of us and our champion kids, we’d like to wish you a happy 1st day of classes. 🥳

We can’t wait to kick off this semester with you and are excited for all that is to come! 🤩

🚨HAPPY LAUNCH WEEK🚨‼️❤️‍🔥

BuckeyeThon has events planned all week to celebrate Launch Week! Stop by tabling booths all week to register for the 2022 Dance Marathon, and attend events like the Volunteer Program Information Session and Philanthropy Panel this Wednesday!

Last but not least, FIELD DAY is this Thursday on the South Oval! There will be inflatables, food, tie-dye activities, and most importantly, a chance to meet and hang out with our Champion Families of BuckeyeThon!‼️❤️‍🔥😎🤩
