Origins
In memory of Olivia
From the deepest grief came our fiercest resolve. The OEC Nguyen Foundation channels loss into lifesaving action through our Fire Safety Box program — equipping families with fire blankets, escape ladders, smoke detectors, and critical emergency resources. Every box we place in a home is a promise kept: that Olivia's memory will continue to protect the people around us.

In memory of Edison
We believe knowledge is the most powerful form of protection. Through hands-on fire safety workshops in schools and neighborhoods, we teach families how to prevent tragedy before it strikes. Our scholarship fund at St. Laurence Catholic School invests in the next generation — because Edison's curiosity for learning deserves to live on in every student we support.

In memory of Colette
Real change happens when people stand together. Through our signature events — from the annual Casino Night gala to neighborhood volunteer drives and the Canvas for Kids art program — we rally our community around a shared mission. Colette's joy and warmth remind us that the strongest safety net is the one we build for each other.
Get InvolvedSince our founding, the OEC Nguyen Foundation has delivered Fire Safety Boxes to families across our region, funded scholarships for deserving students, and brought hundreds of volunteers together in service. But our work is far from finished. Every dollar raised and every hour volunteered brings us closer to a world where no family is caught unprepared — and no loss goes without meaning.
