Who we are

Our story

Obstructive sleep apnea affects millions of children — yet in rural and underfunded communities it often goes undiagnosed for years, quietly shaping a child's growth, focus, and mood.

Founded by high school students, Breathe-On brings education, resources, and advocacy directly to the families who need them most. We partner with clinics, libraries, and schools to make early diagnosis and treatment reachable — so every child has the chance to reach their full potential.

What we do

Three ways we help kids breathe easier.

Every dollar and every hour goes toward closing the gap between families and the sleep care they deserve.

Educate

Community awareness

Free workshops at libraries, schools, and community centers helping families recognize the warning signs of pediatric OSA.
