Charities

 In the last 20 years, our National  Organization has given more than $165 million to education, medical  research, cultural preservation, disaster relief, Veterans causes and  other efforts.

Some of our Local Charities include:

 ALZHEIMERS is a progressive disease that destroys memory and  other important mental functions.  At first, increasing forgetfulness or mild  confusion may be the only symptoms that you notice.   But over time, the  disease robs you of your memory, especially recent memories.  OSIA has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars over the years for  research.  

 CANCER is a disease involving abnormal cell growth with the  potential to invade or spread to other parts of the body. We have all  known someone that has suffered with cancer 

 COOLEY'S ANEMIA or THALASSEMIA is a fatal genetic blood disorder  involving less than normal amounts of an oxygen- carrying protein. It affects people of Mediterranean descent 

 AUTISM is a mental condition, present from early childhood,  characterized by difficulty in communicating and forming relationships with other people and in using language.
