Dance Party for Juvenile Arthritis 

Show Us Your Moves!

July is Juvenile Arthritis awareness month, a pediatric rheumatic disease that affects nearly 300,000 kids and teens in the United States. And because of supporters like you, the Arthritis Foundation helps JA Warriors and their families by providing educational resources and community connections, JA Family Summit, JA Camp, scholarship opportunities, JA Power Packs, research and more. 

As dance party activities take place at JA Family Summit and JA Camps throughout the summer, we invite you to "Show Us Your Moves" to amplify our voices and create awareness that #KidsGetArthritisToo. Whatever you choose, have fun and ask your family and friends to join you!
