About Buck-I-Watch
Who are we?
Buck-I-Watch aims to create and grow a community for Ohio State sports fans by hosting socially responsible Buckeye football and basketball away-game watch parties. Our mission is to bring back to Columbus the same Buckeye spirit and camaraderie we all so passionately feel while packed into our home stadiums. We use this community to foster school spirit, introduce like-minded individuals, encourage new fandom, enliven the diehards, and ensure that no Buckeye ever has to watch another game alone!
Check out our website, Instagram page and student organization page on Ohio State's club directory!
Why Donate?
Your donations are especially important to us because, due to media and licensing restrictions imposed by the BIG 10 Conference, Buck-I-Watch hasn’t been provided the same funding opportunities as other student organizations at OSU. As a result, we have started this initiative with Buckeye Funder (an outreach platform specific to initiatives and groups in the Ohio State community) to raise our own money.
Where will your donations go?
Buck-I-Watch will primarily use your generous donations for the general operation of our watch parties. These expenses include food, giveaways, and the renting of unique venues to watch our Buckeyes.
Additionally, Buck-I-Watch hosts multiple sporting events such as 3v3 flag football, basketball and volleyball tournaments throughout the year. Your donations will also go to organizing these events and compensating the referees who officiate them.
Should we be so fortunate as to surpass our donation goal, Buck-I-Watch will fulfill a longtime dream to take our members on a weekend trip to a Buckeye football or basketball away game. These expenses would include ticket prices, transportation, and hotel stay.
