Who We Are

Our mission is to provide a lifetime of free, comprehensive support to pediatric cancer patients and their families through mental, behavioral, educational, and social services, so they can cope in the present and thrive in the future. 

The Austin Hatcher Foundation was founded in December 2006 by Dr. James and Mrs. Amy Jo Osborn months after their son, Austin Hatcher Osborn, passed away from a very rare and aggressive form of brain and spinal tumors. After their son passed away, the Osborns turned their pain into purpose, and worked to address the lack of support in survivorship for the family of the diagnosed child. They opened the Austin Hatcher Foundation to help eliminate the negative side effects of pediatric cancer from diagnosis into survivorship. The Foundation not only treats the child suffering from diagnosis but the entire family that has been negatively impacted.

What We Do

Pediatric cancer impacts every aspect of a family’s life. The Austin Hatcher Foundation provides comprehensive, integrative care for childhood cancer patients, survivors, and their families — supporting cognitive development, emotional well-being, and essential life skills.


Through a unique blend of therapy, education, and psychological support, we address each family’s complex and evolving needs. Our goal is to help families build resilience, restore hope, and thrive through every stage of the cancer journey.


Every family deserves high-quality, no-cost care — not just during treatment, but for life. We’re here to ensure they have it.
