"I felt connected and less alone in my journey." John, Imagine being the reason someone finds hope and strength to take control of their health for the first time in years. Or, maybe the reason someone discovers they are not alone in their experiences with obesity. Right now, you can be that life-changing source of support for someone in need, just by making a donation of ANY amount to OAC's Convention Scholarship Program. | |
OAC's Convention Scholarship Program changes lives by giving grants to individuals with financial need to attend our Annual Convention. For Allison Crowell (featured above), a 2018 grant recipient who had just had bariatric surgery the year prior, it was the only way she could make the trip. Thanks to generosity from others, our Convention equipped Allison to further pursue her health journey and help others, too. Allison says the diverse education and welcoming community helped her make lifelong friendships while connecting with others who have struggled with obesity. She continues to use what she's learned and pass it on to others in her support group. | |
Will you help us make it possible for someone else to have their life-changing moment at OAC's Convention? DONATE TODAY to our Scholarship Program and watch your gift DOUBLE with help from our matching gift partner, Geisinger Health. Whether you donate $5, $25, $50 or more, your gift will have TWICE the impact if you give right now! | |
