WAYS TO HELP
At the Osteosarcoma Institute (OSI), we accelerate research to improve outcomes for children, adolescents, and young adults facing osteosarcoma, an aggressive bone cancer. We are also helping fund research for man’s best friend. There are several ways you can help propel this work forward, whether you choose to host a fundraiser, share our mission, attend an event, or make a gift.
Host an Online Fundraiser
Join the OSI Ambassadors
OSI Ambassadors are essential partners in raising awareness and advancing research. Ambassadors take on an annual “give or get” fundraising goal — by making a personal gift, rallying support from others, or both — to help drive progress against osteosarcoma.
Attend or Host an In-Person Event
OSI events are more than fundraisers. They are opportunities to connect with the community, spread awareness, and honor the strength of patients and families. Your participation or sponsorship helps keep hope alive and research moving forward.
Make a One-Time or Recurring Gift
Making a donation is a powerful way to support life-changing research and provide hope to families facing osteosarcoma. Every gift, no matter the size, brings us closer to more effective treatments and brighter futures for all patients. Donate online today.
Four Ways to Fundraise Online
Facebook Fundraiser
Celebrate a birthday, honor a loved one, commemorate a milestone, or share your own osteosarcoma story. Create a Facebook fundraiser in minutes and invite your network to support a cause that matters.
Instagram Fundraiser
Use your voice and your platform to make a difference. Follow OSI on Instagram. Then, add a “Donation” sticker to your Instagram Story and select the Osteosarcoma Institute as your nonprofit.
GoFundMe Campaign
Want more customization? Set up a personal fundraising page on GoFundMe and share it with friends, family, coworkers—or your entire community. It’s a powerful way to tell your story and drive support.
Fundraise With the OSI
If you plan to raise more than $5,000, the OSI can create a custom campaign webpage that shares your story and includes sending tax-deductible receipts. See a memorial page and an annual fundraiser.
Join the OSI Ambassadors
The OSI Ambassadors program is a passionate, growing community of advocates committed to raising awareness and funding for osteosarcoma research. Ambassadors connect with others in their local communities, support families facing diagnosis, and help share the OSI’s mission through fundraising and outreach. Members receive access to exclusive events, volunteer opportunities, and research updates. Many involve their children through the Junior Ambassadors program, which offers service hour credit and a meaningful way to give back together.
OSI Ambassadors are unique because of their commitment to an annual “give or get” fundraising goal.
This flexible approach allows each Ambassador to contribute in the way that works best for them:

Together, these efforts help drive critical research forward while building a strong, connected community of advocates.
