Marvin Harrison Jr. partners with the Ronald McDonald House in round up campaign

Round up for a good cause when you stop into your local Central Ohio McDonalds. #GoBucks

Ohio State star wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. needs no introduction, but he sure is making the rounds and appearances for charity and name, image and likeness opportunities as of late.

The latest of those is a partnership with the Cohesion Foundation collective and the Ronald McDonald House. Harrison Jr. has been announced as an official teammate of the families at the RMDH. As part of that agreement, Harrison Jr. is asking for you to round up at your local McDonald’s when you visit in Central Ohio.

It’s an effort to help families dealing with hospital stays for children stay close while they receive treatment, and that’s something we should all be able to get behind, just like Harrison Jr. gets behind opposing defenses.

Here’s the promotional spot the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Ohio put together to help raise awareness for this effort.

Several Ohio State football players take part in helping foster dogs

Another charitable event thanks to the Cohesion Foundation. #GoBucks

There’s been a lot of charitable work going on in and around the Woody Hayes Athletic Center as of late, and a lot of it is thanks in large part to the Ohio State collective, the “Cohesion Foundation.”

We already told you about the fundraising volleyball tournament that took place on Saturday, but there was another group of Ohio State football players that did their part to help foster dogs.

OSU players Parker Lewis, Kayden McDonald, Jason Moore, Will Smith Jr., Josh Mickens, Calvin Simpson-Hunt, and Ja’Had Carter were among the players that partnered with RESCUEDohio, a nonprofit organization founded in 2015 that is run entirely by volunteers and dedicated to finding foster dogs their forever homes.

It all took place at Music Royale’s 21st Birthday Bash at Coffman Park in Dublin on Saturday. And, if you’re feeling like you missed out, that’s OK. Anyone interested in adopting a pup from RESCUEDohio can visit their website and fill out an application.

Charity volleyball tournament to feature Ohio State football players Saturday

Through the OSU collective, the Cohesion Foundation, a volleyball tournament fundraiser will feature several Ohio State football players.

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.

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.

Cohesion, Ohio State football players, help fundraising efforts at car show

Looks like a fun time at the stadium on Saturday! #GoBucks

Ohio Stadium had a flurry of activity on Saturday, but it didn’t involve the pigskin flying around inside the ‘ole Horseshoe. Instead, several Ohio State football players gathered in the West lot of the stadium for the third annual “Buckeye Cruzin’ Car Show.”

OSU football players Jayden Bonsu, Arvell Reese, Calvin Simpson-Hunt, Joshua Mickens, Lincoln Kienholz, Kayden McDonald, Jason Moore, Cedrick Hawkins, and Will Smith, Jr. all took part in the festivities on Saturday, all to benefit the “Buckeye Cruise for Cancer.”

The student-athletes signed autographs, took photos, and shook hands with Ohio State fans all while checking out dozens of cars, hot rods, and classic vehicles thanks to sponsor Byers Automotive.

Fans and players were also able to interact with some of man’s best friend thanks to “Buckeye Paws,” the official certified therapy dog program for OSU students, faculty, and staff.

By the looks of it, it was a good time for all, with a good cause behind it.
