I was lucky enough to be given the opportunity to complete my first Buckeyethon in the spring semester before 2020, and it was a great experience. As I am originally from Philadelphia, I grew up seeing Penn State students come to school events and stand on roadsides collecting money for Thon, so I was very excited to join the event once I came to campus. Together with other active brothers in my service fraternity, we completed fundraisers and held a bake sale to raise money for children fighting pediatric cancer. By the dance marathon, I was able to raise 275 dollars to go toward research at Nationwide Childrens Hospital.
