Oakley Overcomes, Inc. presents:
Mimosas for Marrow 5K

Join us for the 4th annual Mimosas for Marrow 5K run/walk—a joyful, heartfelt event that brings our community together to support families affected by blood cancers and disorders, and to honor the incredible strength of those searching for a lifesaving bone marrow donor.

Inspired by Oakley’s Journey
This event was created by local moms, Sam and Brittany, after Sam’s daughter, Oakley, received a lifesaving bone marrow transplant in 2022. Her courage continues to fuel our mission to support NMDP and families right here in our community walking similar roads.

Why It Matters
Every 3–4 minutes, someone in the U.S. is diagnosed with a blood cancer or disorder. For many, a matching donor is their only hope. Your presence, your steps, and your support truly make a difference.

Your Impact So Far
In just 3 years, the Mimosas for Marrow 5K has grown into something extraordinary:
• 2,000+ participants
• Strong support from businesses
• Countless volunteers
• Over $76,000 raised
• 56 new potential bone marrow donors added to the registry—including two who have already saved lives

Together, we are creating real, lifesaving change. Register today and bring your friends—let’s run, walk, sip, smile, and make an impact together!
