Canes 7th Annual Gala

Our annual Canes Gala is back—this time with a fun winter holiday theme!

By participating in the Canes silent auction, you help Jackson Orthopedic Foundation empower clinicians with essential nonsurgical skills, bridging critical knowledge gaps in musculoskeletal care. Every clinician trained is a pebble in a pond, creating ripples that positively impact countless patients.

Join us in transforming healthcare and improving patient outcomes—together, we can make a lasting difference!

Jackson Orthopedic Foundation (JOF) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to improving the lives of people with musculoskeletal conditions. We have 30 years of experience working to improve patient care, empower clinicians, and encourage the next generation of healthcare professionals.

Your participation in Canes supports JOF’s flagship education programs: 

• Orthopedic Primary Care (OPC): A nationally accredited continuing education curriculum that equips nurse practitioners and other healthcare providers with practical skills to assess, diagnose, and treat common musculoskeletal conditions. 
• Healthcare Immersion Program (HIP): A mentorship and clinical shadowing initiative that prepares college students for healthcare careers through hands-on experience and needs-based scholarship support. 

Thanks to your support, JOF is accredited to provide continuing education to nurse practitioners, clinical nurse specialists, physicians, and other advanced practice providers interested in musculoskeletal care across the United States.
