Volunteering Fundraise for Buckeyethon

This semester I participated with my sorority in fundraising money for Buckeyethon. Buckeyethon is a 24 hour dance marathon hosted by The Ohio State university to raise money for education, awareness, and research towards the hematology and oncology unit at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. This is my second time being able to fundraise at least $250 dollars to attend the dance marathon on Saturday morning. It was a very long 12 hr shift, but so worth seeing the kids and their families enjoy the games, dance, animals etc during this marathon. This year, the university raised a grand total of 1.7 million! Each year, more and more money is raised and donated to the hematology and oncology unit at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. I am very thankful to not be affected by such a terrible disease that 43 kids per day get struck with. Just seeing the statistics, hearing the stories, and spending time with the kids and families truly builds my strength and empathy for this cause and makes me a better leader. Because of service learning I am so grateful and fortunate of the life I have.
