The Purple Buckeyes Bar Crawl DTW (Benefitting The American Cancer Society) | The Wild Goose
Cultural Experiences
What’s the perfect way to spend your Saturday? Enjoying the awesome bars in historic Downtown Willoughby and raising money to fund cancer research sounds pretty perfect to us!
Come be a part of the 3rd Annual Purple Buckeyes Bar Crawl on Saturday, July 26th, 2025! We are back for another amazing year!
The Purple Buckeyes are a Lake County Relay For Life team that was created in memory of the team captain’s father, Greg, whom ended his battle against pancreatic cancer in 2021. Greg loved spending a crisp fall Saturday in Downtown Willoughby, having a cold beer with his friends and family and watching the Ohio State Buckeyes play football at the many bars and restaurants. What a better way to celebrate a great man AND raise funds for the American Cancer Society than to have a bar crawl in the place he enjoyed most!
