Name, Image, and Likeness is here to stay, and despite some of the negative press surrounding it, there are plenty of really good things happening around the monumental change in college athletics.
Take an event occurring on Saturday, for instance. Through one of the Ohio State collectives, the Cohesion Foundation, a charity volleyball tournament will be taking place on Saturday at Woodland’s Backyard.
“Land On A Cure Foundation” will be the benefactor of the event used to raise funds needed to help children battling rare diseases, and there will be some Ohio State women’s basketball as well as some Buckeye football players taking part.
And here’s the really cool part. Anyone can sign up to take part in the tournament. According to a release from The Cohesion Foundation, “games will be 6 vs 6 tournament style and there will be prizes for tournament champions, best dressed, team name, and most spirit!” Teams will have until Noon on Saturday, July 15 to register.
This week we are spotlighting LandOn A Cure. Join team Cohesion on Saturday, July 15th at Woodland's Background for Volley for a Cure. Register now by tapping the link in our bio. Registration is open until Saturday!

In addition to the tournament, there will also be a silent auction, a Brutus the Buckeye appearance, beer & wine tasting from local vendors, live music, and sand volleyball all night.
So, get your team together, or just head out to watch and donate at the door for a good cause.
