CBBF & OIF Create A New Program To Offer Financial Assistance
To People Living With OI
With your help the CBBF has raised over $6 Million for
research into the causes, diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and eventual
cure for Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI). We're proud to be a entirely
volunteer based organization which has allowed 100% of the money we have
raised to go directly to fund research grants and fellowships, and we can
point to clear advancements with OI that are the result of our work.
In addition to funding important research our mission includes
supporting programs which improve the quality of life for people afflicted
with OI. To that end we are thrilled to announce a new
grant program to directly and immediately impact the lives of people
affected by OI. The CBBF and OIF are working together to
provide direct assistance to people affected by OI to help ease the
financial burden often associated with OI related needs.
