About On My Team16
On My Team16 is a Syracuse, NY based non-profit organization that strives to ensure no child feels alone in their fight against cancer. Our mission is to comfort and support pediatric oncology patients, families and caregivers by raising money through athletics. OMT16 partners with athletes of all levels and YOU can get involved by honoring your favorite athlete or team and picking one of their performance statistics to watch during the season. OMT16 will track their success on our website, and at the end of the season, any donation amount is accepted, based on what you can personally afford. We operate just like a fantasy league for charity! We hope you will join our team today. Click here if you'd like to get involved!
On My Team16 was inspired by Jack Sheridan, a young baseball pitcher from Syracuse, NY. Jack was diagnosed with Leukemia on May 29th, 2014, his sophomore year of high school. Through the tremendous support and encouragement from family, friends, strangers and the medical community, Jack was able to beat cancer after 3 ½ years of treatment. Jack is currently attending college and playing baseball at Le Moyne in Syracuse.
Experiencing firsthand the positive impact that can result from providing personal comfort and support to pediatric oncology patients, On My Team16 was created by Jordan Zapisek (Sheridan) – Jacks older sister.
Each year approximately 15,700 children under the age of 18 are diagnosed with cancer and sadly 12% of those children will not survive. That means that today alone, in this country, approximately 43 children will be diagnosed. By supporting OMT16, you will help relieve that pain, that suffering, and that loneliness felt by those children and their families. OMT16 creates the “WE” in team.
