Buckeyes share a special bond. We take great pride in our alma mater. We greet each other in code: “O-H!” And we get an enthusiastic “I-O” in return.

So when we see a Buckeye in need, we rush to help.

That’s why we’re announcing the creation of a fund for alumni who have fallen on hard times.

When you give to the new Buckeyes Helping Buckeyes fund, you will help us award grants to deserving alumni who find themselves set back by natural disasters, job losses, unexpected injuries and more.

You’ll be paying forward — showing what it really means to be a Buckeye.

Please give today.

Thank you.
