Morale Captains
Morale Captains are essential leaders in creating the fun, energetic atmosphere we aim to provide all our Team Members at BuckeyeThon's Dance Marathon and other signature events. As a leader, you’ll use your vibrant personality to inspire and motivate, leading the charge in our annual Morale Dance, fundraising to end pediatric cancer and blood disorders, and most importantly, empowering your color team throughout the Dance Marathon.
In this role, you'll not only lead your team in maintaining high spirits but also build meaningful connections with the BuckeyeThon Families on your color teams. You'll have the opportunity to lead by example, facilitate unforgettable experiences for Team Members, and ensure everyone stays motivated and engaged. If you're passionate about leading with enthusiasm and dedication, this is the role for you!
