We shine a light on pediatric brain cancer through our Signature Walk, Community Workout Day, and O'Che Day, turning awareness into action and action into resources for families.
awareness
We surround families with people who understand — through our events, our partnerships, and a network that stays long after treatment ends. No family walks this journey alone.
Community
We deliver Packages of 10: ten core essentials a family needs during treatment, from transportation and grocery help to comfort care and sibling support. Tangible help, when it matters most.
Support
O'Che lived 10 months with brain cancer: 10 months of courage that changed us forever. We've made "10" the thread that runs through everything we do, so every family we support and every gift we receive honors exactly who and what it's for. It shapes how we give, how we show up, and how we measure the difference we make.
The Power of 10
the intention behind our approach
Held each May for Brain Tumor Awareness Month, our Community Workout Day brings people together in movement — a natural fit with our mission and our partnership with E-Motion's Tampa Movement Community.
Community Workout Day
Throughout the year we bring joy and relief to families through our Halloween Costume Drive, Thanksgiving Meal Drive, and Christmas Toy Drive — plus our year-end 10-Day Giving Challenge. Simple ways to give a child a moment of magic and a family a lighter load
Seasonal Drives
Each September, our community walks together to raise awareness and resources for pediatric brain cancer. Walkers rally their own networks through peer-to-peer fundraising, multiplying every step into real support for families.
Signature Walk for Pediatric Brain Cancer
Every October 10th, we gather to honor O'Che and celebrate the families and community carrying his legacy. Our flagship O'Che Day Gala brings supporters, sponsors, and friends together for an evening of remembrance, hope, and giving back.
10/10 - O'Che Day
Our monthly giving family, with entry at just $10/month. Recurring gifts are the heartbeat of the foundation — they let us plan ahead, show up consistently, and keep our promise to families all year. The 10 Club is the engine that carries us toward $100,000.
The 10 Club
We protect what works and grow with intention. Our year is anchored by five proven programs and a recurring-giving engine that keeps our support steady all year long — each one a way for our community to stand with families facing pediatric cancer.
Our Programs
We measure our mission in more than dollars. Across this programming cycle, we're working toward $100,000 raised and 100 families given full support packages — real help for real families walking the pediatric cancer journey. Explore the initiatives, partnerships, and stories behind that goal, and see how a community united around one little boy's courage is changing lives across Tampa Bay.
