 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. 
With summer around the corner we're excited to share several learning opportunities with you for this season and beyond.
Our catalogue of in-person, online and blended learning options is designed to help you conveniently and affordably acquire new skills and confidence treating common bone, muscle and joint conditions. Each summer we also help students explore future careers in healthcare.  Our inaugural Orthopalooza MSK skills weekend was a hit. Usually part of our blended learning Orthopedic Primary Care Courses, we broke out the weekend workshop as a standalone two-day workshop event April 8 & 9.
Held at Creekside Commons in Lafayette, California, the workshop, valued at 15 contact hours, quickly sold out and we're already planning our next Orthopalooza event for September 9-10. 
Education is a key focus for us at JOF -- and it was a great experience to finally be in person again with friends and colleagues at the California Association for Nurse Practitioners 44th Annual Educational Conference in Pasadena.
It was a lively event filled with learning and networking -- including presentations on menopause and foot and ankle pain by our instructors Kathleen Geier, DNP and A.J. Benham, DNP 
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. 
We're thrilled to report that Sunday's Third Annual Canes Film Festival & Gala was a success! We're so grateful for everyone who attended our first virtual event, along with our wonderful sponsors, and silent auction bidders and auction-item donors!
