Why doesn’t the fundraising total in my Fundraising Page match what I turned in?
All online donations will appear on your page immediately. Due to volume during peak event times, it may take additional weeks to process check or cash donations. If it has been over 4 weeks since submitting your donations to the Arthritis Foundation, please contact Antonio Quey-Lin at [email protected].
