BuckeyeThon Kids
Throughout the year BuckeyeThon works with 20 families and children who are currently or have fought pediatric illnesses at Nationwide Children's Hospital. While some of our children have battled pediatric cancer and blood disorders, BuckeyeThon celebrates the life of all children treated at Nationwide Children's regardless of their diagnosis. These families will be present at many BuckeyeThon events and love talking with students so be sure to say hello!
Every Kid Deserves to Be a Buckeye!
