The goal is to create a "turn key" resource for any school or group to utilize their own Bone Break Day, focusing on bone health.
Salk Institute for Biological Studies 
CHEERS funds will be used to support ground-breaking research that directly impacts women’s health, in such areas as heart disease, brain disease, diabetes, and cancer. Amid growing signs that gender bias has affected research outcomes and damaged women's health, there’s a new push to make science more relevant to them. We are delighted to partner with The Salk Institute in this endeavor.
