JA Family Summit
July 10-13, 2025
This annual event premiered in 1984 in Keystone, Colorado, bringing together children living with JA and their families to learn, exchange tips, make new friends and have fun.
As a family in our first year of dealing with JIA, this event gave us hope. We have hope because we have a supportive network and a partner to help us find a cure and better treatments. The warmness we received at this event shifted our perspective and lifted our hearts. We have hope today because we do not feel alone on this journey.
