For 21 years, the DC area Fine Wines Strong Bones Gala has been the premier fundraising event for the OI Foundation; raising over $1.25 million to support the OIF’s mission to improve the quality of life for those living with osteogenesis imperfecta through research, education, awareness and mutual support. While we are sad we cannot be together in person this year, the health and wellness of our OI community members comes first.
Money raised during this event will go to fund the Jamie Kendall Fund for OI Adult Health which is dedicated to creating informational resources and funding research that addresses health complications faced by adults with OI including cardiovascular and pulmonary issues. During this unprecedented time, the need to fund this vital research has not wavered and as they say, the show must go on!
