A team of public health students raised over $2,000 during Ohio State’s BuckeyeThon in February. This was the first team led by public health students to participate in the annual 24-hour dance marathon.

“It was an amazing experience to participate in this year’s BuckeyeThon,” says undergraduate public health student Kyle Bader, one of three team captains. “I was really proud to start the College of Public Health team and I hope we can continue our support in the future.”

This year’s event raised over $1.7 million for patients on the Hematology, Oncology & Blood and Marrow Transplant floor at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus.
