Help the Kids

Every Box Helps a Child Fighting Cancer

At OYA, a bagel was never just a bagel. From the day we started, we promised that our success would mean something more — that the people who need help most would be part of our story. So we made a commitment we will never break:

5% of every single order goes to helping children fighting cancer.

Not a leftover. Not “when we can.” Five percent of every box, every day — a real, standing promise baked into how this business runs.

The reality these families live

It is hard to put into words what a family feels the moment they hear that their child has cancer. The fear. The hospital rooms. The long nights. The strength it takes from a little kid who should be worrying about nothing more than recess.

Here is the truth, and it is heavier than most of us realize:

  • About 15,000 children in the United States are diagnosed with cancer every year. (CDC & National Cancer Institute)
  • Worldwide, more than 300,000 children are diagnosed each year.
  • Cancer is the #1 cause of death by disease for children in America.
  • Thanks to decades of research, the 5-year survival rate has climbed from about 10% to nearly 85% — proof that support and research save real lives.

That last number is the whole point. Every dollar that goes toward these children and the research that helps them is a dollar that gives a kid another birthday, another morning, another chance to just be a kid.

How your order helps

Every time you order a box of OYA bagels, you are doing two things at once. You are bringing something real and delicious to your own table — and you are putting a little more strength behind a child in a hospital bed who is fighting for their life.

You get the best bagel of your life. A child gets hope. That is a trade worth making every single morning.

Our promise going forward

As OYA grows, this is only going to grow with us. We are building relationships with respected organizations that walk alongside these children and their families, so that every dollar lands exactly where it is needed most — and so we can show you exactly who you are helping.

This is who we are. Real bagels. Real purpose. Every box does good.

OYA. Oh Yeah. That's a Bagel — and so much more.
