OSU Buckeyethon Breaks Record, Raises $100KFrom the 2/21/10 issue of The Lantern...
Dancing at a club for three hours is nothing compared to Ohio State’s Buckeyethon, the annual festival and fundraiser that charges participants with staying on their feet for the entire 14 hours of the event.
The 447 people that attended Sunday’s proceedings were able to raise more than $100,000 for Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus.
“This is the first year we’ve broken $100,000 so it’s pretty exciting,” said Jaclyn Peters, residence hall liaison for this year’s event. The money raised at Buckeyethon will go toward equipment and treatment costs at the hospital.
“Everything we do revolves around the kids,” Peters said. Children and families that have been treated at the hospital were present during the event.
“It’s really great because some of them have been walking around and they’ve had people who have been helped because of the money we’ve raised,” said Chris Hawley, a second-year in political science and English.

Continued... Support the Annual FundFor many of us, the bonds we formed at Phi Delt grew into connections that make life more meaningful today. Many of us have no closer friends than those we made back then. Some of us got first job or reference from a brother, others have made great business connections through brothers. Some were our groomsmen or godfathers to our kids. Add to that the lessons we learned as a result of our association with the fraternity. These have helped to lay a foundation for the successes we have experienced in our personal and professional careers.
Remember that our annual fund relies on support from our alumni brotherhood, and every donor makes a big difference. We can’t continue our program without you.
