25th Annual Fine Wines, Strong Bones Gala DC
Saturday, March 1st 2025 | 7-11pm EST
Returning to the Gaylord National Resort, this fun filled evening will feature dinner, cocktails, auctions, and the chance to fund the mission of the OI Foundation.
For five decades the Osteogenesis Imperfecta Foundation has been providing the OI community with information and resources. The OIF prides itself in responding to more than 11,000 requests for information each year, directing groundbreaking OI research, and serving as the voice of the OI community with researchers and medical professionals. The OI Foundation has come so far in over 50 years—and it has only been possible with your generous support. There is still so much we can do to help and we hope we can count on your support to continue this important work.
The Champagne & Diamonds raffle has become a fine wines tradition over the years. A diamond is graciously donated to the event, and then a raffle is held for someone to win the diamond – all while drinking Champagne, of course. As a sponsor of the raffle you will be recognized at the start of the event, thanking you for sponsoring this unique fundraising endeavor.
During the live auction, guests will have the opportunity to raise their paddle to donate directly to the OI Foundation’s Jamie Kendall Fund. Each donation received during this “Fund-the-Mission” portion of the evening goes directly to support the much-needed work of the OIF’s Adult Health Initiative which aims to provide informed and accurate information to adults with OI through research and education. Proceeds will support the OI Foundation’s mission to improve the quality of life for individuals living with OI through research and mutual support.
If you are unable to attend but would like to make a direct donation to this event, please go to www.oif.org/donate and select Strong Bones DC from the dropdown menu.
