OHIO STATE
ALUMNI CLUB
OF PHOENIX
Welcome to The Ohio State University Alumni Club of Phoenix web site. It is packed with information for our members and guests visiting the Valley of the Sun. If you will be visiting Phoenix and want to participate in our events, please e-mail us at OSUPHX@cox.net to be included in the information blasts that our President sends out.
Our Club meets for Ohio State football games at H.B. Hanratty's, located on Camelback Road, just west of 7th Street in Phoenix. Click here for directions. For Ohio State Men's Basketball games we're meeting at Native New Yorker on Via Linda in Scottsdale. Click here for directions.
We hold about 30 events throughout the year and welcome all Buckeye fans to participate (pictures here and here). We host an Annual Spring Dinner with special guests such as Athletic Director Gene Smith, TBDBITL Director Dr. Jon Woods and Buckeye legend Chris Spielman. We volunteer to assist local charities such as our public television station Channel 8, the Phoenix Symphony and St. Mary's Food Bank. We were the host club for the National Championship game on January 3, 2003. We received our gold star and were surprised with a special #1 Club Award.
We encourage our members who are Ohio State alumni to also join the Ohio State Alumni Association. There are many benefits to you, our club and our University. Please join and help make our organization the biggest and the best in the nation!
THANK YOU FOR VISITING!
BUCKEYE FOOTBALL GAMES
Our Club has a saying - "If you can't be in Columbus on game day, be at Hanratty's."
We meet at H B Hanratty's, 537 E. Camelback Rd., Phoenix, 85012, (click here) every football Saturday to cheer the Buckeyes on to victory. We would love to have you join us. It gets loud - just like Ohio Stadium! Brutus Buckeye has been sighted there along with a former Buckeye cheerleader. The Kazoo Band plays after every touchdown and the merchandise area keeps the fans well clothed, with proceeds going to our scholarship fund. The Beat michigan Party caps off the year and is by reservation only. If you would like to be included in the email blasts and newsletters, please email us at OSUPHX@cox.net. Don't miss the fun and excitement that awaits you at H. B. Hanratty's.

Please note: The proceeds from the sale of our merchandise benefits our scholarship fund.
