Making a Difference Together: Remembering Henry Scott Oldenburg’s Legacy

At Hunterdon Hematology Oncology (HHO), our mission is to provide exceptional care and support to our patients and their families as they navigate the challenging journey of cancer treatment. We are dedicated to not only fighting cancer within our community but also across the region, offering a beacon of hope and healing. It’s in this spirit of community and support that we are profoundly grateful for the generosity and partnership of an extraordinary organization, Remembering Henry Scott Oldenburg (R.H.S.O).

The Foundation of Generosity

R.H.S.O was established in 2008, in loving memory of Scott Oldenburg, a valiant police lieutenant, devoted father, husband, son, uncle, and friend. Scott’s battle with pancreatic cancer ended, but his legacy of kindness and the desire to “pay it forward” lives on through R.H.S.O. This nonprofit organization embodies Scott’s wish by dedicating itself to fundraising efforts throughout the year, aiming to extend the same compassionate support Scott received to others facing similar battles.

How R.H.S.O Makes a Difference

Through a series of volunteer-based events, ranging from the New Jersey Festival of Ballooning to an annual 5k run, R.H.S.O raises funds without incurring costs on advertising or administration. This efficient approach ensures that every dollar raised goes directly towards their mission of supporting those in need. Their dedicated group of family, friends, and volunteers forms the backbone of the organization, enabling them to surpass their goals year after year.

A Beacon of Hope for HHO Patients

For several years, R.H.S.O has been a steadfast supporter of Hunterdon Hematology Oncology and the Hunterdon Regional Cancer Center, donating significant funds to assist our patients directly. These donations have been instrumental in covering copayments and providing transportation assistance, removing some of the financial burdens our patients face. This support is more than just financial; it’s a message of solidarity, showing our patients they are not alone in their fight.

More Than Just Money

As Remembering Henry Scott Oldenburg rightly points out, their contributions are “much more than a dollar amount.” They offer unyielding, faithful support during trying times, embodying the spirit of community and compassion. While they support a wide range of causes, from pancreatic cancer research to aiding families dealing with pediatric disorders, their impact on our HHO patients has been profound.

Join the Family

The success of R.H.S.O and their ability to make a tangible difference in the lives of those affected by cancer and other hardships is a testament to the power of community and volunteerism. Their open invitation to anyone interested in joining their supportive “family” is an opportunity to contribute to a cause that changes lives, honors a remarkable legacy, and strengthens our community.

Their contributions have not only provided financial relief but have also brought hope and comfort to many. As we continue our mission to fight cancer, we are proud to do so alongside partners like R.H.S.O, who share our commitment to making a positive impact in the lives of those we serve.
