About the Nonprofit

The mission of Okizu is to help all members of families affected by childhood cancer to heal through peer support, respite, mentoring, and recreational programs. We have been providing our services to kids and families all over Northern California for 41 years, primarily through our week-long summer camps for kids who have or have had cancer and for their siblings separately. We also host long weekend Family Camps. All of our programs are free of charge, thanks in part to our donors and fundraisers like Evening Under the Stars, which is our biggest Sacramento-area fundraiser. In the Fall of 2020, our beautiful 500-acre camp property was destroyed in a wildfire so we are currently holding our camps at rental campsites throughout northern California while we continue the search for a permanent home of our own. We will acknowledge your donation with a listing in our event program, signage at the event, and an event display.
