Our mission has never been more critical: osteoporotic fractures are responsible for more hospitalizations than heart attacks, strokes, and breast cancer combined. People’s experience with osteoporosis varies greatly, but the good news is that it is manageable disease. But we need your help!

The Bone Health & Osteoporosis Foundation (BHOF) is the leading health organization dedicated to preventing osteoporosis and broken bones, promoting strong bones for life, and reducing human suffering through programs of public and clinician awareness, education, advocacy and research. Established in 1984, BHOF is the nation’s largest health organization solely dedicated to osteoporosis and bone health.

The BHOF “Be Bone Strong” team is a group of inspired individuals committed to showcasing the critical importance of bone health throughout the lifespan. These fundraisers will raise awareness and encourage others to prevent osteoporosis and broken bones by taking steps to promote strong bones for life! This is a cause near and dear to their hearts.

Osteoporosis is a major public health threat for an estimated 54 million Americans. Studies show that one in two women and up to one in four men over age 50 will break a bone due to osteoporosis in their lifetime. In the U.S., more than two million broken bones are caused by osteoporosis annually. Our “Be Bone Strong” team will work to raise much-needed funds to help BHOF improve patient care, support those who have broken bones due to osteoporosis, and educate the public about this chronic but preventable disease.
