The Arthritis and Autoimmunity Research Centre Foundation has officially changed its name to the Arthritis Research Foundation (ARF). The ARF logo has also been updated to reflect the new name. The foundation's mission has always been to fund the leading-edge research in the prevention, treatment and cure of arthritis and autoimmune disorders.
Although the name has changed, its mission remains the same. All funds raised will continue to support the research taking place at the Arthritis & Autoimmunity Research Centre. This change, however, will help provide clarity and a better understanding for donors around the goals of the foundation.
September is Arthritis Awareness Month, and with over four million Canadians living and battling arthritis and autoimmune diseases, this is an important step to help people learn about these conditions and make a difference by supporting research.
