Bobcat Parents and Families,

The University's annual  is about supporting the success of students. It's a wonderful way to show gratitude to a place that means so much to so many. On April 18, all community members are invited to support the part of OHIO they care about most. Gifts made during the 24-hour celebration will benefit students by providing funding for academic, athletic, cultural, career, and basic needs programs. 

Last year, over 2,000 donors made gifts totaling more than $865,877,  for OHIO. Each gift will be tracked on the  to provide real-time updates on progress toward participation goals.

Your support will impact all current and future Bobcats by giving them a solid foundation to build successful lives!

Best,
Kathy
