Thank you to all the Buckeyes who joined us for the Alumni Club Pirate Cruise last night! 🏴‍☠️ It was an unforgettable evening filled with pirate entertainment, fun games, great music (including Hang on Sloopy, Across the Field, and Carmen Ohio), along with plenty of dancing. To top it all off, the captain even spelled out O-H-I-O on the water! ❤️🌊

So glad we could share such a fantastic night together—Go Bucks!
