 Our 7th Annual Canes Gala is this Sunday, December 8! Here's our official press release, which includes mentions of our wonderful sponsors. Hope you can make it -- tickets are still available!
 Happy Thanksgiving!
As we gather to give thanks this holiday season, we at Jackson Orthopedic Foundation want to take a moment to express our deep gratitude for you. Whether you’re advancing the health of your community through your work as a clinician or supporting nonprofits like ours, your dedication to creating a healthier, happier world inspires us every day. 
The holidays are just around the corner, and we’re thrilled to invite you to join us in making the season extra meaningful. This year’s Canes Gala Online Silent Auction is packed with fun and fabulous finds you won’t want to miss—and we’re giving you a special sneak peek before bidding opens on December 1!
Our auction is hosted on platform 32auctions.com, which means you can bid from anywhere. From incredible experiences to unique treasures and tasty treats, every item you bid on directly supports Jackson Orthopedic Foundation’s mission to empower clinicians, improve healthcare, and transform patient lives.  Hello, healthcare champions and supporters!
As we celebrate 25 years of service at Jackson Orthopedic Foundation, we are grateful for your help in addressing one of the most significant health crises facing patients and clinicians today. Your support -- whether through a one-time or monthly gift, or by attending or sponsoring our annual Canes gala -- is more than a donation. It’s a direct investment in healthcare professionals who are tackling the growing impact of musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions, improving lives across the nation. 
It's here! Our Fourth Annual Canes Film Festival & Gala is this Sunday, Nov. 7!

It would be an understatement to say that 2020 has been unprecedented – in fact, we hear that term so much that it hardly seems apt anymore to begin to describe the last 12 months. COVID-19 has been the grim centerpiece of much of that year, and, like many nonprofits, JOF has had to work hard to keep serving our constituents in this continually challenging environment.
However, thanks to you – our volunteers, donors, sponsors, students, preceptors, and team – we have weathered this storm. And we’re proud to say that we still managed to accomplish a fair amount.

Canes is coming! And this year, it’s virtual!

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 1.4 million health care workers — many of them nurses — were laid off or furloughed in April.
Our nurses are in trouble. Due to the COVID-19 health crisis, many nurses who treat patients living with muscle, bone and joint disorders are having their pay cut, or being laid off or furloughed. Orthopedic procedures have been canceled or delayed, and some medical practices have been forced to close.
