June 2008 - The U.S. House of Representatives Approves the "Mother’s Day Centennial Commemorative Coin Act" To Support Osteoporosis Research
On Tuesday, June 10, 2008, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to pass the “Mother’s Day Centennial Commemorative Coin Act” (H.R. 2268), which would authorize the U.S. Mint to produce a commemorative coin in 2014 in honor of the centennial of the Mother’s Day holiday. The proceeds from the sale of the coin will be shared by NOF and Susan G. Komen for the Cure to further their research grant programs. NOF applauds Representatives Shelley Moore Capito (WV-2) and Carolyn Maloney (NY-14) who introduced the bill, as well as the 297 cosponsors.
