💚 It’s World JA Day!

Juvenile arthritis (JA) is a chronic autoimmune disease impacting nearly 300,000 kids in the U.S., causing joint pain, swelling, and fatigue. But JA is more than just pain — it can affect school, activities and daily life.

📸 You can help raise awareness: wear green, take a photo, and share it on social media. Every post shines a light on these courageous children and reminds families they are not alone.

Together, we can make sure children living with JA are seen, supported, and celebrated. ✨

At JA Family Summit, kids get a hands-on, fun experience that mirrors their own juvenile arthritis care — and it's always a hit with the kids! At the Panda Clinic, generously provided by Alpha Omicron Pi Fraternity, children check their panda’s blood pressure, give their panda a shot and learn about health in a playful, empowering way.

It’s always a favorite part of Summit, giving kids confidence, connection and a sense of understanding about their own care — while parents attend sessions, network and gather resources.

👉 Register today and join us at JA Family Summit! https://arthr.org/44Y2Tcb
