The mission of the Arthritis Foundation is to improve lives through leadership in the prevention, control and cure of arthritis and related diseases.
Description:
The Arthritis Foundation is the largest non-profit funder of arthritis research in the country. We provide programs and services for people affected by arthritis in our community. Those programs and services are geared toward helping people with arthritis learn how to control their disease through diet, exercise and medication. The Arthritis Foundation also hosts a number of special events throughout the year including the Joints in Motion Marathon training program, Arthritis Walks and the Jingle Bell Run and Walk for Arthritis. Volunteers are needed for special events as well as office work to help our organization meet our mission.
History:
The Arthritis Foundation was founded in 1948 by a small group of scientists who wanted to found an organization whose sole mission was to raise money to provide research for people who had arthritis. The Pacific Northwest Chapter was founded in 1954 to serve the 2.2 million people in Washington, Oregon & Alaska facing the daily challenges of arthritis.
