You are the key to new opportunities.

There is no price tag on the value of quality education and a supportive community in an individual’s health journey. One of the best ways the OAC can provide these resources is by putting them directly into the hands of people at our life-changing in-person Convention, YWM2022-Engage. However, the reality is that for many, financial hardship makes attending our Convention only a dream and not a reality. 

Today, we’re asking for your help to unlock this opportunity for more people and change their lives by donating to the OAC’s Convention Scholarship Program.

"Prior to the 2014 Your Weight Matters Convention, it was a goal of mine to make anyone’s wish to attend a reality. This came from my own financial reality. I knew if I hadn’t been covered under volunteer travel expenses, I would have been an applicant for the scholarship program myself. I know how real it is to have to make hard financial decisions and how prioritizing our health and time away to learn and build community can be put on the backburner. While I was Chair of the National Convention Committee, I led the creation of the Convention Scholarship Program..."

When you donate, you help us continue our vision of making our in-person Convention accessible for all. Your gift makes it possible for more people to attend and experience their breakthrough moments. This could be learning something new, finding hope, or empowering them to take charge of their health.

Our Scholarship Program is supported by people who believe in the life-changing power of quality health education and a community of support. It is only through the generosity of donations that we’ve been able to accomplish so much through the years…
