AOK Day is our Day of Giving for the Koa Fund, inspired by the phrase K-O-A is A-O-K — which was coined by a playmate of Koa’s, then adopted by Koa herself as a campaign slogan for class president!

Always on the summer solstice, the longest and brightest day of the year, our fifth annual AOK Day is Sunday, June 21st.

We believe that every day we give is an AOK Day:

  • That’s why all donations to the Koa Fund during the month of June, directly and through purchase of gear, go toward our AOK Day fundraising goal. 

  • And every donor has a chance to win a Koa Fund founders giveaway — one AOK Day carry-all tote bag (with an AOK surprise inside) and three sweet little AOK zip pouches!

Two ways you can help:

100% of your AOK Day donation goes through the Koa Fund to nonprofit organizations and programs helping youth be valiant in their own way.

Order — and then proudly show off — your very own special edition AOK Day 2026 gear with all proceeds going to Koa Fund grantees.

We are a powerful ally for youth in our communities when we come together to support innovative, heart-led efforts through which a wide range of youth identities can flourish.

Our collective support helps make possible the amazing work of our incredible grantees, such as those included on our Who We Support page. Please help us reach our AOK Day goal.
