Who we are
Uniting for a Cancer-Free Future
Dedicated to a
CURE
The Orlando Sports Foundation (OSF), established in 2008, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit committed to eradicating cancer through funding and awareness initiatives. Our mission is to unite teams for cancer research, aiming not just to manage, but to cure cancer. Each year, OSF organizes several fundraising events, including the notable ESPN Events Cure Bowl. This NCAA football bowl game has significantly advanced cancer research, raising over $4.14 million since 2015. With the support of our community, fans, and partners, we strive to raise cancer awareness, support youth programs, and foster a culture of integrity and excellence.

LEGACY
As the concept of the Cure Bowl was taking shape, Laura Goldstein, an early advocate, was diagnosed with stage IV metastatic breast cancer. This diagnosis inspired the board to focus on breast cancer research for their fundraising efforts. Tragically, Laura passed away in 2011, and OSF Board CFO Sandi Breitenstein succumbed to stage IV liver cancer in 2015. Their memories and battles continue to inspire and drive the foundation’s efforts today.
The OSF has since made it a point to ensure that the cause is a central feature of the Cure Bowl, permanently incorporating cancer research into the game’s title. This decision not only honors the memories of Laura and Sandi but also serves as a continuous reminder of the stakes involved in the fight against cancer. Their legacy galvanizes the community and keeps the foundation committed to its mission of finding a cure.
