CFC #:11043

Osteoporosis Foundation, National

Your support will help NOF continue its engagement in multiple awareness, advocacy, education and fundraising campaigns and programs to prevent and reduce the overall incidence of the crippling disease.

About 85-90% of adult bone mass is acquired by age 18 in girls and age 20 in boys. Building strong bones during childhood and adolescence can help to prevent osteoporosis later in life.

As part of its awareness and prevention efforts, the National Osteoporosis Foundation is engaged in a campaign that helps to educate young girls about the importance of building strong bones.
