3rd Annual Women on the Move Luncheon
Friday, March 11, 2011 
The "21" Club

Although arthritis can affect anyone, regardless of race, gender or age, the statistics are clear – more women are diagnosed with arthritis than men. Sixty percent of all people who have arthritis are female and many of the common forms of arthritis are more prevalent in women. Among those are rheumatoid arthritis (RA), lupus (SLE), osteoporosis, fibromyalgia and some types of osteoarthritis (OA). Finding ways of coping with arthritis is particularly important for women, who are often juggling work, family, and a variety of social responsibilities.

At the 2011 Women on the Move Luncheon, chaired by Andrea Eisenberg, women who have set themselves apart through civic, cultural, philanthropic, human service, or professional commitments were honored. The Luncheon was attended by business women who are leaders in their fields and who are a vital part of our city. The Luncheon’s goals are to raise awareness about women and arthritis, and to raise funds to support the Foundation’s mission.
