Event Information

The 2022 Thanks for Giving Award allows our supporters to recognize and honor an individual in their life who supports them throughout their arthritis journey. This can be your spouse, a parent, a friend, your doctor, just about anyone that helps you live your best life and say yes to more.

By raising funds, you and your guest can attend the Freedom of Movement Gala and your honoree will be featured in our presentation and receive a special award. The Arthritis Foundation will work directly with you to support your fundraising efforts. 

Award Responsibilities include committing to a fundraising goal and help the Arthritis Foundation raise funds through table sales, individual and corporate donations and attend Freedom of Movement Gala on October 15, 2022 at the Drake Hotel.
