ZACH FARMER MEMORIAL GAME
The Zach Farmer Memorial Game will be on Saturday vs. the Hawkeyes. In the summer of 2015, the Buckeyes lost their teammate and friend Zach Farmer after his battle with leukemia. During his fight, Zach helped raise awareness for the bone marrow registry through Be The Match, starting a campus drive with help from his Buckeye teammates. The organization provides marrow transplants in the United States from volunteer unrelated donors to leukemia patients. Be The Match will be on hand in the concourse at Bill Davis Stadium Saturday from 2-4 p.m. and will accept volunteers to be swabbed for potential matches in the bone marrow registry.
