Rose Bowl Volunteers Needed!

The funds raised during our Buckeye Game Day events directly support our Spearman Scholarship Fund. Thank you for volunteering, and for all of your support throughout football season! Are you available to help us out at one of our OSUDC Game Day locations during the 2022 Rose Bowl this Saturday January 1, 2022 at 5pm? If you are available, email Melissa at gameday@osudc.org!

OSUDC is especially looking for volunteers for these locations:

• Blackfinn DC (Farragut Square/DC)
• Crystal City Sports Pub (Arlington, VA)
• Blackfinn Merrifield (Vienna, VA)

Let’s Beat ❌ichigan!

We are currently down on the scoreboard, and we need your help!
Want to beat TSUN and help a great cause?! You can do both through our Donation Battle with the U of M Club of Washington, DC. Both clubs are giving to the amazing organization the Homeless Children’s Playtime Project. This nonprofit partners with homeless shelters in the DC area to create a fun and safe space for children to play where they live. This winter, they have a priority need for toiletries as well as toys to supplement their holiday gift program. We have created an Amazon wishlist of requested items for the Playtime Project. Make your gift through 12/31 when the winner will be announced! Go Bucks! Beat TSUN!
 

Happy Noon Year!

For $25, you are a member of OSUDC; for $75+, you are a member of OSUDC and a sustaining member of OSUAA, which makes you eligible for OSUAA benefits such as football tickets. Membership dues are tax deductible contributions to our OSUAA current use fund that makes programming available to area alumni. Dues can be paid at one time, or you can set up recurring payments.

We offer two ways to become a member:

Option 1) Yearly Membership to Alumni Club of Washington, D.C. | Join now
