National Coming Out Day Ad

Although our giving page is no longer active, you can still donate. If you would like to provide any additional support, please make a gift here.

Support the LGBTQ community at Ohio State by making a gift to the National Coming Out Day Buckeye Funder campaign. The funds raised will be used to provide scholarships to students who are selected through the application process, program support and The Lantern ad. Scholarships are open to students without respect to sex, gender, sexual orientation or identity.

For over 30 years, members and friends of Ohio State’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer community have published an ad in The Lantern for National Coming Out Day (NCOD). Scarlet and Gay began coordinating the NCOD ad fundraiser when we became an alumni society, and we’re celebrating our 23rd anniversary this year! The deadline to give and have your name appear in the NCOD ad (if desired) is Friday, October 11. The ad will run in The Lantern on October 24.

The NCOD ad has become a symbol of Ohio State as an inclusive and welcoming home for the LGBTQ community.

If you have made a gift in previous years, thank you! Please encourage other members of our community to contribute through personal contacts or by sharing our Buckeye Funder campaign on social media. If you have any questions about the NCOD ad, please contact Matt Hall.

Lastly, we always encourage alumni and current students who are part of the LGBTQ community (including allies) to self-identify through the alumni association to receive communication regarding Scarlet and Gay events as well as leadership opportunities.

Sincerely,

Matt Hall (he/him)
