Dan Potokar is an Ohio State Football student-athlete and Grove City High School alum who is battling cancer. Diagnosed in November of 2007, Dan underwent three rounds of chemotherapy treatments. Dan recently learned that his type of cancer is highly resistant to chemotherapy. It was recommended that Dan undergo stem cell/high dose chemotherapy treatments at Indiana University Medical Center. His first of two such treatments began in March.
In light of Dan’s situation and the financial strain that these treatments present, the NCAA has granted a waiver to allow for individuals and groups to conduct fundraisers and/or donate money to help defray the cost of Dan’s treatment. The following fundraisers are planned for Dan Thursday, May 1:
