The Basement Doctor was proud to sponsor The 10th Annual Buckeye Cruise for Cancer. This cruise sets sail
every year with a ship full of Buckeye players old and new, and hundreds of OSU
fans. Everyone comes together with the goal to raise funds to beat cancer. This
year's cruise took place February 25 to March 2, 2017.
Over the years, The Buckeye Cruise has helped raise over 10 million dollars for cancer research. This year alone, the cruise raised 2.5 million dollars! Proceeds benefit the Urban & Shelley Meyer Fund for Cancer Research and OSUCCC-James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute.
In addition to our sponsorship, several members of our team had the opportunity to go on the cruise and had an amazing experience interacting with fans, cancer survivors, and of course, the players. Below is a recap in photos of their time spent on the ship.

of the OSU players on the cruise were on stage during the energetic opening ceremonies.

The Basement Doctor sponsored "Replay You Make The Call" with
NCAA Replay Referee Roger Parramore. Roger talked about the history of replay,
the evolution to the booth and then gave the audience scenarios where they had
to make the right call on the play.
