Welcome
Dear Golden Cub Ambassador Club,
Thank you so much for the opportunity of sharing our program and mission with you. As you know, this program is near and dear to our hearts as our son Oliver has been a leukemia patient at Nicklaus Children's Hospital since May of 2020. While he was in treatment, we came up with the idea for friends and family to “send a patch”.
This simple ask has created a movement of sharing patches.
“The Oliver Patch Project patches are so much more than pieces of material. Our patches reinforce hope, mend loneliness, and repair self doubt. Our patches represent support, compassion, and strength. Our patches are tokens of love, and are the symbols of our Warriors.”
— Brian and Trisha, Oliver’s parents
Oliver Patch Project began little more than a year ago and has come so far. At the end of 2021, just three months into sending out jackets, 30 children had enrolled in the program.
Today, December 7th, 2022, there are 472 OPP Warriors! .
We’d like to invite you to watch a short video to learn a bit more about our family story, battle with leukemia, and the beginning of the Oliver Patch Project.
“I haven’t seen my daughter smile in months, and she gets so happy every time she receives a patch in the mail!”
“My son wears his jacket everywhere…even to sleep!”
Support
Your support means so much to our organization and allows us to make children smile during an impossible time in their lives. Each garment with twenty patches, 12 months of Patches of Positivity, monthly videos and educational and inspirational content costs $350.00.
We are seeking $25,000.00 in funding to bring smiles, laughter and empowerment to 75 children who need it most. Thank you for your support

Our Mission
The Oliver Patch Project (OPP) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation whose mission is to create a free, fun, engaging platform where children with childhood cancers and their families can connect through a series of unique patches created by artists and designers just for them.
We empower kids to find their inner warriors, as they endure life changing milestone events, by providing a bit of sunshine throughout their cancer journey.
The project is currently open to children and teens in the United States undergoing active treatment for cancer, is supported by donations, and all the fun is provided to our Warriors 100% free of charge.
We believe in the power of positivity to promote healing.
How it Works
The process to empower our Warriors is simple and fun. Kids are given their first OPP intro patch by their Doctor, Nurse or Child Life Specialist. The magic QR code provides them with information on how to join the project online through the OPP website. Within the Warrior Login Portal, they will create their account and then the fun begins!

Milestones
Like knights preparing for battle, our OPP Warriors suit up in their warrior jacket “armor” and earn Milestone Patches for each medical milestone treatment they complete along their cancer journey.
PATCHES = POWER
Patches of Positivity (POP)
After enrollment in the project, each Warrior will receive a new patch each month for the next year. All of this is provided to them free of charge through donations to the Oliver Patch Project. This project empowers kids to find their inner warrior, as they endure life changing events no child should ever have to face.
