As we celebrate the beginning of September and Arthritis Awareness Month, we also celebrate the amazing and generous donors who make arthritis research a priority. Arthritis Research Canada (ARC) is honoured to have your support and is working hard to advance arthritis research for more than 4.6 million Canadians affected by this disease.

In this month dedicated to Arthritis Awareness, we would like to take this opportunity to highlight our Monthly Giving Program and ask that you consider joining others who support Arthritis Research Canada each and every month.

“Having a close family member suffer from the devastating effects of ankylosing spondylitis, I understand how important arthritis research is. I believe in research and have seen how it helps people live with and manage their disease. Supporting arthritis research is the best way  I  know how to help. Monthly giving is the easiest way for me to make the biggest difference.” Lorna Pauls,­ ARC Monthly Donor

When you become a member of Arthritis Research Canada’s monthly giving program, you are joining a very special group of donors. Your monthly gift is hard at work funding vital research into more than 100 forms of arthritis.

As a monthly donor, you not only help reduce administrative costs but also provide a steady source of income to help us more effectively plan ahead and maximize your donor dollars. The amount of your gift is not as important as being able to count on your support. Your monthly commitment adds up and makes a big difference to those affected by arthritis.
