July Is Juvenile Arthritis Awareness Month
Kids Get Arthritis, Too
Thank you for supporting the Arthritis Foundation and the hundreds of thousands of children and families living with juvenile arthritis (JA) across the U.S.Many people don’t realize that even infants can be diagnosed with arthritis. The impact can be life-changing — physically, emotionally and socially. Thanks to your support, the Arthritis Foundation is funding groundbreaking research and advancing treatment options, helping kids with JA live fuller, healthier lives. And we’re not stopping there — we continue to push for new therapies, develop vital resources and advocate for better access to care so families never have to face juvenile arthritis alone.
This July, join us in raising awareness that Kids Get Arthritis, Too — and that the Arthritis Foundation is here for them every step of the way.
