Thank you for supporting Doernbecher Freestyle 20

The Doernbecher Freestyle 20th anniversary gave us so much to celebrate.

Thank you to our sponsors and supporters who raised over $1.5 million for OHSU Doernbecher Children’s Hospital through the Doernbecher Freestyle 20 Collection Unveiling and Auction. And a special thanks to Nike along with Shoe Palace, DTLR and Snipes, who presented Doernbecher with a gift totaling more than $1.9 million from the retail sales of the 2023 Doernbecher Freestyle XIX Collection. Since 2004, this extraordinary partnership has raised more than $40 million to ensure lifesaving care is always there for kids — no matter what.

All of this has been made possible through the unwavering support of Doernbecher health care teams, sneakerheads, athletes, Nike staffers, sponsors and donors like you. Thank you for being a part of this incredible journey — and here’s to the next 20 years.

This year, Connor, Ja’Kai, Jillian, Quin, Sophia and Tima shared their stories and their unique Nike footwear designs — designs that not only represent their journey, passions and personality, but also help them give back to the hospital that changed their lives.

About Freestyle

As part of a remarkable partnership between OHSU Doernbecher Children’s Hospital and Nike, young patients design limited-edition Doernbecher Freestyle footwear with all profits benefiting the hospital.

Each design tells a story. 122 so far. Through them, we come to understand Doernbecher kids and, year after year, these young designers teach us the meaning of grace and courage. By supporting them, together we have done something extraordinary. With over $40 million raised, countless kids can now rest easier, in the best of hands, embracing hope and keeping their sights on the future.

All proceeds benefit the Area of Greatest Need at OHSU Doernbecher Children’s Hospital, providing hospital leaders the flexibility to allocate resources when and where they are needed most.
