Because together we can fight arthritis

Join the Team for a Cure

Team participation is FUN and EASY! It also makes you eligible for great team prizes. A team is a group of five or more walkers joining together to raise money to fight arthritis. Team members can include co-workers, friends, family members, clients, vendors - anyone!

Establish a team captain who will recruit and lead the team. Leading a team involves setting fund-raising goals, supplying registration and donation forms and motivating and inspiring team members. The Arthritis Foundation will provide you with a complete "Team Captain Kit" to help lead your team to success.
