| 06/18/2008 – Buckeyes Battle Cancer In 2008, the Ohio State student-athletes stepped outside of their usual concerns of school work, practice and competition to fight a bigger battle – a battle against cancer. Between the football, women’s hockey and men’s lacrosse teams, the winter and spring seasons were sprinkled with various events all with one central theme – raising awareness and donations for various types of cancer. |
| 05/09/2008 – Buckeyes Give Back The Ohio State Department of Athletics and its student-athletes, coaches and staff all will take part in four community events May 11-17.
