"One day we will dance in celebration, until then we will dance for a cure"


Last weekend, 79 of our Alpha Xi  sisters stood up against cancer and participated in BuckeyeThon, Ohio State's 14th annual 24-hour dance marathon which raises funds for Children's Hospital and cancer research.  The fundraising goal for this year's dance marathon was 1 million dollars. 


Alpha Xi's participated as part of the Purple Team during the event. Decked out in purple tutus, face paint, and glitter, our sisters danced  for 12 straight hours  and had a blast meeting the miracle kids. We raised $20,191.86 throughout the year and during the event. 

Our sisters were so excited to attend the final reveal and see how much we had raised this year. One of our sisters, Rachel, even got to hold up the "F" in "FTK" during the reveal. This year, $1,231,290.11 was raised for Children's Hospital. We are so proud of all that our sisters accomplished and their commitment to be For The Kids.
