BuckeyeThon Fashion Show

Runway of BuckeyeThon Fashion ShowCouldn’t make it to New York or Paris for Fashion Week this year? No problem! Come join us on November 3rd at 7 p.m. for BuckeyeThon’s Fashion Show for the Kids.  “This year’s Fashion Show features styles from a number of local businesses, giving students and guests the experience of a night on the town in the Short North without having to leave campus,” says Courtney Thomson, director of Marketing and Communications for BuckeyeThon.

There will also be special guest performances by a few Ohio State student organizations between sets. Not only will you be supporting a great cause but you also won’t be leaving empty handed either. At the end of the show, BuckeyeThon will pass out grab bags with special products provided by Fashion Show for the Kids sponsors.

Tickets are on sale now for only $5 and available through purchase from BuckeyeThon members, models, team captains or on the Buckeyethon website.

“The incredible thing about the fashion show is it really gives kids a chance to feel like rock stars!” Courtney said. “These kids who have been through so much get to go up on stage and ‘strut their stuff’ while being cheered on by a thousand students at the greatest university in the country… who wouldn’t love that?”

Be sure to buy your tickets soon because you won’t want to miss out on cheering for these wonderful kids and supporting a great cause.

Student Org Spotlight: Pi Sigma Epsilon (PSE)

Pi Sigma Epsilon is the nation’s premiere co-ed sales, marketing and management fraternity. PSE holds frequent professional workshops and social events, as well as sales and speech competitions for members throughout the year. President Katie Tippy sets high expectations for the group: “Our chapter prides itself on an ability to professionally develop members and improve their business acumen while creating lifelong friendships. The experience we get from working with clients and corporate sponsors is invaluable: being a part of Pi Sigma Epsilon is something our members will cherish for life.”

Pi Sigma Epsilon recently became involved with BuckeyeThon and Nationwide Children’s Hospital, a cause near and dear to Ohio State. Every February, the Ohio Union hosts a 24 hour dance marathon, the culmination of a yearlong effort by students, faculty/staff and the community to both emotionally and financially support BuckeyeThon families.

Sunday, October 4, Pi Sigma Epsilon is hosting their second annual “Fore the Kids” golf scramble at Foxfire Golf Course with a 9 a.m. shotgun start. Golf, raffle prizes and refreshments are available to any students, faculty or community members interested, and 100 percent of the proceeds go straight into a donor drive for the dance marathon. Last year, Fore The Kids was able to raise $5,808.35 for the dance marathon, making PSE the top organization to donate in the Max M. Fisher College of Business, and they expect to raise even more this year.

“All of our members are beyond enthusiastic about BuckeyeThon, and after the golf outing last year more and more members have been compelled to participate in fundraising activities,” explained Service Director Meghan Sullivan. “I remember one of the most touching moments from the dance marathon in the Union last year was when one of the mothers came up and hugged everyone on our team, thanking us for helping to save the lives of children just like her daughter. Sometimes fundraising feels like you’re just one little drop in a hat, but moments like those really put into perspective how important every dollar is to make a difference.”

Sign ups for the golf scramble can be in teams of four or individually. Students and community members can make a donation or register here by October 1: http://forethekids.eventzilla.net/web/event?eventid=2139086091
