The Arthritis Foundation is the only non-governmental organization devoted to seeking the cause, cure and prevention of arthritis in all its forms, and a better life for everyone affected by the disease. Today, the Arthritis Foundation is one of the largest, most productive nonprofit voluntary health organizations in the United States.
The Arthritis Foundation is dedicated to doing whatever it must to move toward a time when the burden of arthritis and related diseases is reduced dramatically. First & foremost, we are dedicated to improving the lives of people with arthritis, as well as those who are affected by arthritis. We must also focus on empowering individuals and communities to take positive action in their own lives or to help others around them, understanding that they have access to a broad wealth of resources through the foundation.
The funds raised from the Margarita & Salsa Festival directly support arthritis research, community programs and services and advocacy initiatives that help improve the lives of people with arthritis in McLennan and the 11 surrounding counties.
Arthritis is the leading cause of disability and affects 46 million Americans, 3.9 of which are in Texas and over 300,000 children.
