FELLOW BUCKEYE FAITHFUL

The Pikes Peak Buckeyes continue to grow and flourish! Our list of annual activities just keeps expanding. Just take a look at some of the many activities we have done over the past couple years. And, remember these are in addition to the traditional gatherings for football and basketball watching at BW3!

Looking Forward...

As our club continues to grow, and more and more local Buckeye fans learn about our existence, we would like to be able to continue putting on events and offering services to local Buckeyes.  With such an increase in size and participation, though, comes an increase in commitment by our board members as well as an increase in club expenses.  A sample of these expenses include postage and materials for annual club mailings to inform local Buckeyes about what our club is up to, costs for our annual gatherings such as the Summer Picnic in the Park, costs to help sponsor receptions for visiting Ohio State Varsity teams when they come to Colorado, and various other outlays needed for the club to properly function. 
 
For the upcoming year, we ask that those  who have enjoyed what the club has provided in the past and also for those that hope to join us in the future, to become dues-paying members of the Pikes Peak Buckeyes.  The annual cost is rather minimal ($20 for an individual, or $30 for a family), but will allow us to continue to function and grow with the increase in local participation. As a reminder, you certainly do not have to be an alumni of OSU to become a member of the club....nor do you have to be a dues-paying member of the club to enjoy the events we organize.
 
Any supporter of The Ohio State University is welcome to join the Pikes Peak Buckeyes for any and all functions, parties, and community service activities. For those who choose to become very much appreciated dues-paying supporters of our club, here is a breakdown of how the dues will be allocated, along with benefits provided to those particular members.
 
Dues-Paying Member Benefits
  • Membership in the Pikes Peak Buckeyes Alumni Club - with a membership card to prove it!
  • Support of club activities as discussed above
  • $5 of individual dues ($10 for family dues) allocated to our local Pikes Peak Buckeye Scholarship Fund, to help a local student attend Ohio State (These amounts of your membership dues are tax deductible!)
  • A free "Pikes Peak Buckeyes" vehicle sticker (two stickers for a family membership)
  • A $5 gift certificate to Buffalo Wild Wings (family memberships receive a $10 gift certificate)
