More than 1,300 donors came together this Socktober to raise over $90,000 for OHIO students—thank you! Your generosity helps students take a step toward their future.
Socktober was such a hit that we needed to order more socks! We’re getting them in the mail as quickly as possible and aim to have all pairs sent by the end of November.
Every time we see a pair of these socks out in the wild, we’ll be reminded of how our Bobcat community came together this October to create life-changing opportunities for OHIO students.

Snag your socks, strut your stuff, and know that every step helps a Bobcat chase their dreams.
10/10 UPDATE: You blew our socks off! We've increased the campaign goal and ordered more socks. Thank you!
ABOUT THE DESIGNS
This year’s Socktober designs are bold, cozy, and 100% Bobcat (figuratively, of course)—created by current students whose OHIO experience is enhanced by the generosity of donors like you.
A class of current OHIO students were tasked with designing and pitching their designs for a business or athletic-style sock, and enthusiastically went to work. Our two incredible talented winners worked with our staff to “learn by doing” about fashion, fundraising, design, presentation and public speaking skills, and logistics.
