Arthritis Walk

Effective immediately, all donations for Arthritis Walks and Jingle Bell Runs can be submitted directly to the Arthritis Foundation website or to the local Arthritis Foundation chapter. Donations no longer have to be sent through the AOII Foundation.

 
In order to make the new process successful, please make sure that you sign up under Team AOII National when registering and include AOII and your chapter in your team name (ex. AOII Alpha Chapter or AOII Nashville Alumnae Chapter).  To register, visit the Arthritis Walk website at www.letsmovetogether.org


To ensure that your chapter receives recognition at Convention and Leadership Institute, we have created an Arthritis Walk & Jingle Bell Run Event Reporting Form. Please fill out the form with the amount of your chapter's total donation to the walk/run and mail it to the AOII Foundation office by May 11, 2012.  You should report your participation in Jingle Bell Run or Arthritis Walk from July 1, 2011 through May 11, 2012.
