Dear Student Life team, 

This is a big week for BuckeyeThon because they are kicking off dancer registration today.

If you’re wondering how you can get involved in the effort, I have a special invitation for you: join the Student Life of the Party team. It’s for Student Life team members, including our student employees, and it’s a Scarlet and Great way to support this extraordinary program.

As you probably know, 100% of all funds raised by team members goes to Nationwide Children’s Hospital to support pediatric cancer treatment, research, fellowships, psychosocial services and more. BuckeyeThon does so much good for the kids and their families at Nationwide Children’s, and to raise awareness on campus of the many benefits of philanthropy.

Joining the Student Life of the Party team is easy. Just go to go.osu.edu/BT, click Register, sign up as Team Member and search for the Life of the Party Team. Then customize your fundraising page and commit to raising $250 before the Dance Marathon on February 8, 2025.

Our Student Life of the Party team has raised more than $42,000 over the past four Dance Marathon cycles.

I would be Scarlet and Grateful if you would join the movement and sign up to be a Team Member. I’ll see you at the Dance Marathon in February!
