Join me in fighting to end pediatric cancer and blood disorders by supporting BuckeyeThon.

Buckeyethon's efforts support the Hematology, Oncology, and Blood & Marrow Transplant Unit right here in Columbus. As Vice President of Advancement for Buckeyethon, I help lead our campus in hopes of raising over $1 million for kids at Nationwide Children’s Hospital facing pediatric cancer and blood disorders. Every dollar raised stays local and directly funds vital care — from chemotherapy and research to art therapy and tutoring — ensuring every child receives the support they need.

My role centers on mobilizing our campus by recruiting and training thousands of team members from residence halls, Greek life, student organizations and beyond. I help shape our cause-driven culture by teaching students how to fundraise, building emotional connections to our mission, and creating programming that keeps our community energized and engaged.

Every email, event, and campaign I oversee is designed to remind students why we fundraise: for the courageous kids undergoing treatment just down the street. Championing these children isn’t just my position — it’s my purpose. They are the heart of BuckeyeThon, and they deserve to know that Ohio State stands with them.
