Ohio State Endowment Fund.…

Anyone who ever attended The Ohio State University knows that being a Buckeye is something special. It’s not just a place "where you went to school". Once you’re a Buckeye, you are a member of a very large family which will support you for the rest of your life. Woody Hayes was a big proponent of "Paying Forward".

If you’re not familiar with the concept, instead of trying to pay back people who have been influential and supportive of you in your life, you should pay forward by being influential and supportive in someone else’s life. The OSU Indy Alumni Club is now giving our members the opportunity to "pay forward" and create more members of the Buckeye family.

We have set up a scholarship endowment for Indiana high school students who want to attend Ohio State. We have decided to start the endowment at OSU so that we could be a part of the Presidents Club. As a member of the Presidents Club we are able to get tickets which will then use as raffle items. Having the Endowment Fund through OSU, we are able to maintain a fund that is self sustaining so we are not always trying to raise funds for scholarships. But in order to use money from the Endowment and be a part of the Presidents Club, we must first raise $50,000.

Many events, like the auction at our annual brunch, wine donations and the Celebrity Golf Outing are all being planned to help raise money for endowment. But we also need your help, along with your employer, colleagues and friends who will like to support The Ohio State University. Any current member of the Presidents Club can have their annual donations made to our endowment fund! All donations are tax-deductible. Please see the attached sponsorship opportunity sheet to see what you can do to help. If you have any questions, or want to help in any way, please contact Christine Konvolinkia at 317.697.7757.

Current Value as of 2/16/2009: $31,894
