• Donate Now to the Caring for Communities COVID Response Fund (Oct 13, 2020)

  Raise the Paddle for the COVID Response Fund

  This year’s Raise the Paddle was dedicated to helping communities across the country that have been disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Caring for Communities COVID Response Fund will allow the Foundation to respond to the growing number of requests for financial resources. Funds raised will support community-based, osteopathic-supported organizations coping with financial constraints due to increased patient needs due to COVID-19.

  We are only 61% of our goal, but there is still time to raise your paddle and help us reach our goal of $100,000. Your donation will ensure that ALL of our neighbors are cared for in this time of crisis. Donate now.
