Osteogenesis Imperfecta Foundation

The Osteogenesis Imperfecta Foundation, Inc. (OI Foundation) is the only voluntary national health organization dedicated to helping people cope with the problems associated with osteogenesis imperfecta. The Foundation's mission is to improve the quality of life for people affected by OI through research, education, awareness, and mutual support.

Osteogenesis Imperfecta is a genetic bone disorder characterized by fragile bones that break easily. It is also known as "brittle bone disease." Osteogenesis imperfecta literally means " bone that is imperfectly made from the beginning of life." A person is born with OI, and is affected throughout his or her lifetime.

Volunteers can assist with our efforts by volunteering for our fundraising events, participating on event committees, making phone calls, and providing your time, skills and resources.
