Who is oak?

Why OAK is different

For children with cancer and their families who need to recover from the emotional toll of diagnoses and treatment, OAK is the childhood oncology organization that provides a voice, community, and sense of normalcy because together we can truly heal.

What Drives OAK

Healing hearts, mending lives

Planting seeds that grow communities

Guiding kids to find their voice

Research studies pathology. Hospitals provide treatment. We care for the frequently overlooked emotional wellbeing of young patients to help families reclaim the sense of normalcy cancer so often takes away.

Guiding kids to find their voice

Making sense of the complex emotions that arise from living with cancer is especially difficult for children. We empower kids to process and express their feelings—in their own time, in their own words.

United by a passion to make an impact

Cancer can isolate young patients and their families. Our programs offer common ground for instant connections—rooted in acceptance, support, and shared experiences—that will develop into thriving, lifelong bonds.

OAK Values

Integrity

Empowerment

Integrity

It starts with transparency. We do what we say. No excuses. Just honest answers. This requires accountability from the top down, everyone holding each other responsible to always stand up for and do what’s right. The result is something we don’t take lightly and can never afford to lose—trust from every donor, community, and family we serve.

Empathy

Empowerment

Integrity

Our team is built on individuals who truly get it. Whether core staff or volunteers carefully chosen from hundreds of potential applicants, we all share a unique capacity for compassion. We understand what it’s like to live with childhood cancer. We know how to navigate its emotional nuances. We recognize the little moments that can help kids and families feel whole again. Above all, we care.

Empowerment

Empowerment

Empowerment

Families affected by childhood cancer are the toughest around, even if they don’t realize it. Our role is to guide them in finding the strength within. We provide safe, supportive spaces for children to make friends, create memories, and take chances. We give parents opportunities to see their kids laugh and just be kids again. Why? To help survivors build the resiliency they need for life beyond cancer.

Impact

Impact

Empowerment

Each of us is here to make a difference. One that’s hard to quantify, yet easy to spot. You can see it in the way we do whatever it takes to accommodate every need. It can be felt as week-long friendships grow into year-round group text chains. Most importantly, it is clear in every smiling child who returns transformed to their astonished parents.

Family

Impact

Family

We may come from different walks of life, but we all share a deep, personal connection. This unique bond develops almost instantly and easily transcends the differences and distances that separate us. It’s the reason why households plan their entire year around one week. We’ve built a community unlike any other that supports each other and takes care of its own. This is the family we choose, and we are stronger together.
