The story began quietly, in a small Midwestern town, with a little girl and a dream. For three long years, she collected cans from roadside ditches, baked cookies in her family’s tiny kitchen, and tucked away every penny she could find. Her goal was simple yet enormous in her young eyes: to see the Ohio State Buckeyes play live in Ohio Stadium.
