On October 16, our community came together for the inaugural Day of Impact, celebrating oncology nurses and the Oncology Nursing Society’s (ONS) 50th anniversary. Nurses, donors, ambassadors, and colleagues shared stories of mentorship, compassion, leadership, and growth. Together, we honored the legacy of oncology nursing and raised more than $30,000 to invest in its future.

Behind every breakthrough in cancer care, there’s a nurse who made a difference. Oncology nurses are the heart of patient-centered care, advocating, educating, and comforting at every stage of cancer journey. But who supports them?
As the Oncology Nursing Society celebrates its 50th anniversary, it’s a fitting moment to spotlight Ryan Iwamoto, newly appointed President of the Oncology Nursing Foundation (ONF) Board of Directors. With a career rooted in patient-centered care and a lifelong passion for advancing the profession, Ryan brings both heart and perspective to this leadership role.
When you donate to the Oncology Nursing Foundation (ONF), you’re doing more than just funding a scholarship; you remove barriers and power real-world change.
Through this generous funding, ONF is proud to announce a new scholarship opportunity for nursing leaders. The Wharton Nursing Leaders Program Scholarship supports nurse managers who have been accepted into the Wharton Nursing Leaders Program at the University of Pennsylvania.
