The Gee Challenge “BuckeyeThon is a great way to show everyone the spirit of this University: the fact that we care and the fact that we care deeply. Over the past few years we have raised over a quarter million dollars in support of this great endeavor. The truth of the matter is that we should raise a lot more. They raise a lot of money at Penn State. They raised a lot of money at Vanderbilt when I was there. This is the biggest and most audacious University in the country and we need to have this as a major goal.” President Gordan Gee
