  • Arthritis Society
    Arthritis Society National Fundraising Council (Pro-Bono)
    Arthritis Society Oct 2020 - Mar 2023
    Toronto , Ontario, Ca
    I’m proud to say that the Arthritis Society is a charity of choice for me. Why? Many people don’t realize that arthritis is Canada’s most common chronic health condition and there is no cure. It’s painful, it’s debilitating and it has a significant impact on our economy, workforce productivity and the healthcare system. You might think that arthritis is simply part of the aging process – but that’s just not the case. It strikes 1 in 5 Canadians – that’s 6 million of us – across all age groups. The challenge is real and the time to act is now, and that’s why I’ve chosen to give my time to this worthy cause. As an executive volunteer on the Council, I provide strategic leadership and council, build connections to donors, and advise on plans to grow annual fundraising to $40/million each year. We raise the funds needed to invest in cutting-edge research, proactive advocacy and innovative solutions that will one day alleviate the suffering of people affected by arthritis.
