Host an Event

Arthritis Research Canada greatly appreciates the support of individuals, organizations and businesses who are willing to host fundraising events to benefit arthritis research. These events are considered Third Party Events, meaning event hosts are responsible for the planning, promotion and expense.

Public events – from pub nights to golf tournaments – are a great opportunity to engage with your community and those who share a passion for your cause. The awareness and funds raised by these events directly support life-changing arthritis research.
