Why We're Fundraising: Battle of the Greens – East, South, or West?
At Ohio University, our residential greens are more than just places to live. They are where Bobcats discover community, form lasting friendships and take important steps toward who they will become. That is why Housing and Residence Life is launching Battle of the Greens, a fun and meaningful fundraising competition where you can vote for East, South, or West Green with your gift and show your Green pride while giving back.
But this isn’t just about bragging rights (though those are definitely on the line). Every dollar raised through this campaign directly supports the programs and people who make the OHIO residential experience so special. We are doing this because we believe in reinvesting in our students.
From first-year residents to graduate assistants, Housing and Residence Life is focused on helping students thrive academically, socially and personally. Your support helps us continue to build welcoming communities where students feel seen, supported and celebrated.
The funds featured in Battle of the Greens make this possible:
- Residence Life
- Residence Life Programming Fund
- Graduate Assistant Professional Development Fund
- Brian Stephens Housing and Residence Life Excellence Award

Your favorite green. Your vote. Your impact.
When you give to Battle of the Greens, you are not just supporting a favorite campus memory. You are investing in the future of our students and helping to create a stronger, more connected Bobcat community. Help us support the leaders, learners and community builders of tomorrow-one gift at a time.
Good Morning, Bobcats!
