Help save a life and beat TTUN!

As you return to Ohio State for Homecoming, the familiar sights, spirited atmosphere, and camaraderie will bring back cherished memories and remind you of your deep connection to our university. With football season in full swing, it’s the perfect time to think about giving back to your fellow Buckeyes and consider donating blood to help us beat TTUN (again!) for Blood Battle 2024 and win $1 million for Ohio State.
