Arthritis is a collection of conditions affecting joints and other tissues. It causes pain, restricts mobility and diminishes the quality of life for six million Canadians. That means one out of every five people in this country live every day with arthritis, and there is no cure. Without a greater spotlight on this growing health issue, the number of Canadians suffering from arthritis will rise to nine million by 2040.

A corporate partnership with Arthritis Society Canada allows your organization to maximize your corporate, social and community goals while demonstrating to your customers and stakeholders your commitment to stopping arthritis in its tracks. Whether yours is a large or small enterprise, we offer tailored partnerships that focus on delivering your objectives.

Your company can be part of the solution as we work towards a cure for this devastating disease.

For more information on how your company can make a difference, please contact Alain Saumur, VP, Ontario & Eastern Canada.

Move Your Way

Move Your Way is an exciting platform to help you organize an activity and virtually connect with family and friends to raise critical funds for arthritis. The options are endless – walk, bake, run, bike, craft, create and more!

Getting your company involved and fundraising with a Move Your Way event is a great way to build awareness, raise funds, engage your employees and transform the lives of Canadians living with arthritis. This is a dynamic way to help fund cutting-edge arthritis research and innovative solutions for people affected by this debilitating disease – not to mention a terrific opportunity to introduce your workplace to a cause that is so important to so many people.
