About

The BoStrong Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. It was founded by the Oliver and Jones families, with the help of Paula Silverman, after the Oliver’s son (and Jones’ future son-in-law), Bo Oliver, lost his journey with Ewing’s Sarcoma. Established in 2017, the BoStrong Foundation provides resources to help young adults with cancer explore holistic treatment options.

  • Educating young adult cancer patients and their support systems about holistic treatment options and therapies.
  • Instilling confidence in those on their cancer journey that it’s OK to take control of their treatment, ask questions, and explore options.
