Arthritis is the #1 disability in America, and in Michigan alone, 1.2 million or 1 in 4 individuals have arthritis-that includes over 10,000 children. The Arthritis Foundation of Michigan’s annual Jingle Bell Run & Festive Family Fun Day will be on Saturday, November 19, 2022, at M1 Concourse in Pontiac, MI. This festive fun event is a certified 5K/fun walk run with educational connections, holiday-themed festivities, and a celebration of our arthritis warriors that will raise awareness and funds to support our work championing the fight against arthritis. We would appreciate your help with this event through participation, fundraising, musical talents (vocal or instrumental), cheerleading, food donation (baking cookies, making appetizers…), holiday tree decorating, event volunteerism, or however you feel would best benefit our participants. The school team with the most participants will be recognized as State Champions in Conquering Arthritis. Participant registration and event details can be found at: JBR.org/Detroit. Contact Danielle Pietraszewski at dpietraszewski@arthritis.org with any questions. If you drive to this event, you can get 2 additional service hours.
