The Gift

Thank you for visiting the Unicef Team of BuckeyeThon, the largest student-run philanthropy in the state of Ohio. We raise funds and awareness to help children at the Hematology/Oncology/Bone Marrow Transplant Unit at Nationwide Children’s Hospital.

BuckeyeThon funds the programs at Nationwide that help kids forget about their cancer for a while. Most of the money raised goes toward the hospital’s psychosocial services, which include art and music therapy, massage and – if the child is hospitalized long enough – help with school work.

The money raised also goes to training and research. It assists in the slow, expensive process of discovering new treatments and getting them approved. Fighting cancer isn’t easy. Not for the kids who have it, and not for the doctors working hard to treat them.
