Established in 2006 , the Paul G. Rogers Champion Circle recognizes individuals and families who, like NOF’s founding chairman, the Honorable Paul G. Rogers, are advocates for a healthy America. The giving circle recognizes those who share Mr. Rogers’ tradition of action and advocacy to promote bone health and osteoporosis prevention through annual gifts totaling $5,000 or more.
Mr. Rogers served in Congress for 24 years and during eight of those years served as the Chairman of the House Subcommittee on Health and Environment. He was instrumental in helping to enact the National Arthritis Act, The Research on Aging Act, The National Cancer Act, The Clean Air Act, The Safe Drinking Water Act, and helped to establish the National Institute on Aging at the National Institutes of Health.
Gifts may be designated to specific program areas of donor interest, or given to support of NOF’s central mission and the Honorable Paul G. Rogers’ vision – to prevent osteoporosis and broken bones, promote strong bones for life and reduce human suffering.
NOF thanks those who committed a contribution of $5,000 or more between November 2006 and December 2007 to support the formation of the Paul G. Rogers Champion Circle.

NOF relies on volunteers across the country to help us provide support to the millions affected by osteoporosis. Whether you’d like to connect with fellow osteoporosis patients or get more involved to help those suffering from the disease, we have resources and toolkits available to help you.
Pearls of Strength – both a series of Salon events and a Collection of jewelry – represents the many generations of strength in each family and the legacy that we pass forward. All funds raised through Pearls of Strength events and jewelry sales will put us closer to reaching the campaign’s $2 million goal to improve patient care and support for the most vulnerable – those who have suffered a fracture – and to further our awareness and prevention efforts.
