The mission of the Arthritis Foundation is to support research to find the cure for and prevention of arthritis, and to improve the quality of life for those affected by arthritis.

There are over 750,000 people in the Ohio River Valley Chapter area that are affected by one of the over 100 forms of arthritis. One in every six families has felt the impact of this disease. Painful and sometimes disabling, there is no cure for arthritis. however, treatments and programs exist to make life with arthritis easier and less painful.

Formed in 1948, the Arthritis Foundation is the only national, voluntary health organization committed to working on behalf of the 40 million Americans with arthritis. Volunteers in chapters nationwide help to support research, professional education, government advocacy, and fundraising activities.

The funds raised from the COMAIR Mini Grand Prix will support the programs, services, and research efforts for the men, women, and children in our chapter area who need our help.
