FAQs

Your Questions Answered

Learn more about who we serve, what happens during a Surprise Attack, and how you can be part of making a difference.
Who can receive a Surprise Attack?

Operation Surprise Attack supports children and teens ages 3 to 17 facing serious, chronic, life-altering, or life-threatening health challenges. This may include children undergoing cancer treatment, living with sickle cell disease or other serious medical conditions, awaiting or recovering from a transplant, or recovering from a major accident, surgery, or other significant medical event.

We primarily serve families throughout Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan.

How many cards does a child receive?

Most of our kids receive upwards of 1,000 cards or more during their campaign.

For several weeks, we share their stories with schools, churches, businesses, organizations, groups, families, and individuals throughout our community. Every card carries a simple but powerful message: You are seen. You are loved. And you are not alone.

What does a family receive during a Surprise Attack?

Every Surprise Attack is created with the individual child and family in mind. Our kids receive hundreds, and often upwards of 1,000, heartfelt cards from people throughout the community, along with special gifts chosen specifically for them.

Families also receive financial assistance to help ease some of the everyday burdens that can come with caring for a child facing serious health challenges.

During our Holiday Wishes campaign, we extend that support to the entire household with gifts for the child and their siblings, along with special experiences the family can enjoy together and opportunities to make meaningful memories.

How far does OSA travel?

We primarily serve families throughout Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan, generally within about an hour to an hour and a half of Toledo.

Whenever possible, our team personally delivers each Surprise Attack. Being able to meet our families, celebrate their child, and place all that love directly into their hands is an important part of what we do.

Is my donation tax-deductible?

Yes. Operation Surprise Attack is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law.

EIN: 87-3484307

Can my school, church, business, or group get involved?

Schools, churches, businesses, teams, clubs, organizations, families, and other community groups can participate by creating cards for our current campaign, organizing a group card-making activity, volunteering, collecting needed items, supporting a family, or finding another creative way to get involved.
