Buckeyethon 2020

For the 2019-2020 academic year, I participated in an amazing charity even called Buckeyethon. OSU works with Nationwide Children’s hospital to raise money and support children with pediatric cancer. The money goes to the Hematology/Oncology/BMT department for expenses such as wheelchairs, therapists, and hospital visits. Teams spend all year fundraising for the big dance in February, then we all gather for 12 hours of dancing, fundraising, and fun alongside the strongest kids out there.

As a part of the Dunn Sport and Wellness team, we raised over $37,000 this year. I was able to meet a few of the families impacted by pediatric cancer, and I learned so much about strength and endurance in such a short amount of time. Standing for 12 hours and engaging with such strong people has impacted me greatly, and I will continue to support Buckeyethon and these kids throughout all of my years at OSU.
