NATIONAL PHILANTHROPY PARTNER - BONE HEALTH & OSTEOPOROSIS FOUNDATION (BHOF)
We are proud to partner with Bone Health & Osteoporosis Foundation for our National Philanthropy, Osteoporosis Awareness and Prevention.
For 40 years the Bone Health & Osteoporosis Foundation has been the nation’s leading health organization dedicated to preventing osteoporosis and broken bones, promoting strong bones for life, and reducing human suffering through programs of public and clinician awareness, education, advocacy, and research. In 2023 the American Bone Health (ABH) organization, dedicated to providing community education and support services, joined forces under the BHOF umbrella around a shared vision of better bone health for people of all ages.
This collaboration with Bone Health & Osteoporosis Foundation is not only about necessary financial contributions; it is a commitment to building a sustainable partnership that provides tangible benefits throughout communities across the nation. Together, we aim to raise critical funds, engage new audiences, alert individuals about risk factors and preventative measures, and provide opportunities to support the Bone Health & Osteoporosis Foundation.
Our members, trained as peer educators, are empowered with knowledge and motivation to conduct outreach programs. From screenings to workshops, they engage with local communities, advocating for a healthy lifestyle, increased physical activity, and a diet rich in calcium and vitamin D. These measures are crucial for both raising awareness and reducing the risk of osteoporosis, a condition that disproportionately affects women, particularly those of Asian descent.
Through these actions and the supportive partnership with Bone Health & Osteoporosis Foundation, our philanthropic mission may be accomplished, to make a significant, positive impact on bone health.

CHAPTER PHILANTHROPY - RED CANARY SONG
The sisters of the Rho Chapter of Delta Phi Lambda are proud to announce our partnership with Red Canary Song as our chapter philanthropy.
Red Canary Song is a grassroots organization founded in Flushing, NYC that supports labor rights for Asian and migrant sex workers. They work to decriminalize sex work and provide a labor union for these workers. Their organization first started to honor Yang Song, a massage worker who was a victim of a police raid. They provided legal support and resources for her family. Their mission strives to create change in this work to prevent more deaths and violence towards these workers. Their tenets include ending police raids and deportation, labor rights in workplaces, and respect for sex and migrant workers.
As Dedicated Female Leaders advocating for Asian awareness, we admire Red Canary Song's work and are excited to support their mission. We will do this by educating ourselves on these issues, raising awareness, and fundraising to help move their efforts forward.
