Welcome to Cure Arthritis Now! We are a nonprofit organization which was formed in 2004 by a group of arthritis patients who want to help all people live well with arthritis.

Our Mission:

The mission of CAN! is to educate the general public that arthritis is a serious, widespread and disabling disease which can be effectively treated.

We raise money to complete this public education, which will enable us to accomplish the following goals:

Research Funding: CAN! strives to increase arthritis funding by raising money for arthritis research and contributing that money to promising research projects. With an increase in arthritis research funding, a cure for arthritis is possible.

Awareness: To accomplish our goals, we must raise awareness among the general public that 1) arthritis is a serious, widespread and disabling condition; and 2) with the appropriate medical care, arthritis is treatable and disability can be reduced.

Arthritis is a widespread and serious condition:

  • Arthritis affects nearly 70 million Americans, or one in three adults.
  • Nearly two-thirds of people with arthritis are under age 65.
  • Arthritis is the leading cause of disability in the United States.
  • Arthritis costs the nation nearly $125 billion a year in medical costs and lost productivity.
  • Nearly 300,00 children have arthritis.
  • There are more than 100 different types of arthritis and related joint disorders including:
