Story
BobcaThon is an annual fundraiser at Ohio University that benefits the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Ohio. Our mission, in conjunction with RMHC is to unite the OU community in a tradition that raises funds and awareness for children with serious illnesses and their families.
Founded in 2014, BobcaThon is a campus-wide cause. More than 800 Ohio University students, faculty, and alumni from 20+ on-campus organizations participated in the 2019 Dance Marathon and helped raise over $100,000 for the Ronald McDonald House of Central Ohio through personal involvement and student organization participation.
I'm #FORTHEKIDS because there's really no other way! When I hear the stories of children who have stayed at the House, I can't think of anything but to be for the kids! being a part of BobcaThon and being FTK is such a humbling experience. Helping children of the Ronald McDonald House is such a rewarding feeling. Knowing I'm providing for a child battling a war much bigger than any fight I might ever see in my own life is indescribable. - Rhianna Lucas, 2019 Morale Captain
