Historical Note
BuckeyeThon is the largest student-run philanthropy organization at Ohio State University. It was founded in 1999, held its first Dance Marathon in 2002, and is still active as of 2018. BuckeyeThon's purpose is to raise awareness and funds to end pediatric cancer, with a particular focus on children treated in the Hematology, Oncology, and Bone Marrow Transplant departments at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. The five core values of the BuckeyeThon organization are compassion, excellence, dedication, integrity, and collaboration. Students organize events and fundraising activities throughout the year, culminating in the annual BuckeyeThon 24-hour Dance Marathon, a celebration of the year’s fundraising accomplishments at which the total amount raised is revealed.
