In recognition of World Osteoporosis Day on October 20th, the International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF) proudly unveils “ Give For Your Bones”, a global fundraising and engagement platform aimed at motivating individuals, organizations, and workplaces to take meaningful action in support of bone health worldwide.
The new platform brings together creative ideas for fundraising and physical activity challenges, and provides a simple, secure way to donate – all in one place. Whether it’s a charity walk, a yoga session, a corporate challenge, or a bone-healthy cooking event, “ Give For Your Bones ” makes it easy to support IOF’s mission of preventing fractures and improving quality of life for people with osteoporosis.
“Strong bones are the foundation for a healthy, active life,” said Dr. Philippe Halbout, CEO of the IOF. “With Give For Your Bones, we want to empower people everywhere to take action for their own bone health—and to help others do the same by supporting IOF’s important programmes and projects. Every activity and every donation brings us one step closer to a world free from fragility fractures.”
On the Give For Your Bones platform, visitors will find:
The platform aims to turn awareness into action by encouraging bone-healthy activities—a key factor in building and maintaining bone strength—while mobilizing support for IOF’s global initiatives.
IOF calls on people everywhere to get active, be creative, and make a difference for bone health. Every small effort counts!
Join the movement today at www.giveforyourbones.org and help build a future where strong bones and active lives are possible for all.
