The annual 24-hour dance marathon is run by Ohio State students and raises money for pediatric cancer research. Proceeds are donated to Nationwide Children's Hospital.

This year's $1.6 million brings the overall total raised for childhood cancer research to over $11 million since BuckeyeThon's inception in 2001. 

For the kids.
