Our 8th Annual Canes Gala, held on Oct. 26 2025, was a big hit! The family-friendly Halloween celebration was the perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon – sharing good food, laughter, and community spirit. 

Alongside the festive fun, we discovered moments of learning and inspiration as we celebrated JOF’s 27 years of empowering clinicians with essential nonsurgical skills. We heard from our amazing volunteer preceptors, and voted on student videos that bring our mission to life. As always the online silent auction was a big highlight -- and we raised more than 120 percent of our goal!

More than just a party, Canes is our most important fundraiser of the year – supporting our educational programs and helping provide scholarships for students with financial need.

Couldn't make the event? You can still support our mission by making a donation.

How your support helps

Canes supporters and sponsors help Jackson Orthopedic Foundation empower clinicians with essential nonsurgical skills, bridging critical knowledge gaps in musculoskeletal care. Every clinician trained is a pebble in a pond, creating ripples that positively impact countless patients.

Canes supports JOF’s nationally accredited, flagship education program: Orthopedic Primary Care (OPC) -- offered as a growing suite of online, live (in-person), and hybrid courses. These provide flexible, affordable and convenient ways for clinicians to get the training they need.

Canes also supports the next generation through our Healthcare Immersion Program (HIP), which provides college students a hands-on, month-long summer experience shadowing healthcare professionals.

Thank you for joining us in transforming healthcare and improving patient outcomes—together, we can make a lasting difference!
