Save the date for Canes!

We’re excited to announce that the 8th Annual Canes Gala will take place on Sunday, October 26, 2025, from 3–6 p.m. at Creekside Commons in Lafayette, California — and we hope to see you there!

Get ready for tricks, treats, and transformative impact — our Halloween-themed Canes is shaping up to be our most magical gathering yet.

Canes is our biggest fundraising event of the year, bringing together friends, supporters, and future-focused clinicians for an afternoon of celebration, community, and impact.

Enjoy a wickedly wonderful afternoon packed with:

• A hauntingly good buffet and cauldron-worthy nonalcoholic drinks
• Bewitching stories from students, instructors, and alumni
• Boo-tiful insights from our clinical training programs
• A fang-tastic silent auction launching the week before the event

Costumes are welcome — so feel free to show up in your Halloween best and bring the spirit of the season with you!

Tickets are $75 for general admission, with free admission for students. 

All proceeds support JOF’s mission to close the gap in musculoskeletal (MSK) care by training current and future clinicians through our nationally accredited Orthopedic Primary Care (OPC) and Healthcare Immersion Program (HIP). Your participation directly helps us reach more learners, deliver hands-on education, and improve outcomes for patients facing MSK challenges.

Sponsors: we need you!

Canes 2025 is also an opportunity to partner with Jackson Orthopedic Foundation as a sponsor — and help sustain critical education and workforce development at a time when public funding is shrinking and patient needs are rising.

Whether you’re an individual, clinic, or organization, your sponsorship supports the future of healthcare while gaining visibility across our event, digital platforms, and publications.

Sponsorship of the Canes Gala helps fund our education programs and scholarships for students in need. These initiatives provide hands-on, affordable education for clinicians and students, addressing the urgent need for more musculoskeletal (MSK) training in front-line care.

Your support ensures that training and education continue reaching those who need it most — especially during uncertain times when healthcare systems are under pressure.
