Interested parties will form teams and raise funds together for these events, many make it an annual tradition to participate. Teams can consist of family members, friends, co-workers, business staff or any other organization of which you are involved. With your help, we can raise funds and awareness for the many different forms of arthritis through the Arthritis Walks! Eighty percent of funds raised support Research and Programs through out the state.
