Oncology Children's Foundation

The Oncology Children's Foundation (OCF) is the premier charity partner of the Sydney Swans. Ryan O'Keefe is the Swans' OCF Ambassador and Ambassador of the Goal 4 A Goal fundraising initiative.

In Australia, more children die of oncology-related conditions than any other disease. The Oncology Children’s Foundation is a children’s charity exclusively devoted to raising funds for medical research into childhood cancers. One hundred per cent of the net funds are donated to the Oncology Research Units at The Children’s Hospital at Westmead and the University of New South Wales. OCF funds research into hard-to-treat childhood cancers such as neuroblastoma.

“Today’s research is tomorrow’s medicine.”

The charity has helped children and families in Australia since 1983 and operates in NSW, Victoria, Western Australia and Queensland.
