Your Fundraising Dollars at Work
Your gift to the Arthritis Foundation is a wise investment. It goes to work immediately, serving Americans with arthritis, their families and health professionals who help them.
Each day, the Arthritis Foundation works in communities across the United States, researching the causes of and cures for arthritis, supporting community outreach and education programs -- which directly help families cope with this devastating disease -- and driving grassroots advocacy efforts, which articulate our issues and concerns for policy-makers and legislators alike.
