Green Heart Fridays

In May 2025, we raised awareness through a nationwide, free art activation during Arthritis Awareness Month.

May is Arthritis Awareness Month

Arthritis Awareness Month is a time to shine a light on the nearly 60 million people in the U.S. living with one of over 100 types of arthritis — the nation’s #1 cause of disability. It’s a moment to build understanding of arthritis, spark support, and lift up the voices of the arthritis community. Whether you live with arthritis, love someone who does, or simply want to show your support, your voice matters. Together, we can raise awareness and help drive our vision of a world where all people with arthritis are living a life without limits.
