Raise OI Awareness
Request a State Proclamation
We need YOUR help to proclaim OI Awareness Week (May 4-11) in every state! Please take a few minutes to request an official proclamation from your state by following the steps listed on www.oif.org/proclamations2024.
Raise OI Awareness on Social Media
Help us reach people worldwide on social media during National OI Awareness Week! We need your help to reach even more this year! Be sure to like and share our #OIawarenessweek posts on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram pages throughout the week!
Share Your OI Story
One of the best ways to raise awareness of osteogenesis imperfecta is to share your OI story and experiences. Gemma’s Corner, created in memory of OIF Founder Gemma Geisman, is a place where OI community members can share their OI story, as well as listen to others. Click here to listen to OI community member stories in Gemma’s Corner. We want to hear from you! To share your story, please record a 3 to 5 minute video and send it to bonelink@oif.org. For more information, or if you need assistance recording or sending in your video, please contact the OI Foundation.
