We couldn't be more proud to have North Carolina's own Audrey Penn as part of our Arthritis Foundation community. 💚

Her generosity, compassion, and gift for connecting with children made this year's JA Family Summit even more special. We are so fortunate to have her sharing her time, talent, and heart with our JA families. Thank you, Audrey, for inspiring our community and making every child feel seen.

What an unforgettable week at JA Family Summit! 💚

We loved seeing so many families from the Carolinas and Virginia come together—welcoming new families experiencing Summit for the first time and reconnecting with those who return year after year.

A special thank you to the parents and teens from our region who volunteered in leadership roles throughout the week. From leading panel discussion, facilitating workshops, welcoming and mentoring first-time families and serving as teen group leaders, your leadership and generosity helped make Summit an incredible experience for everyone.

Thank you for representing the Carolinas and Virginia so well. We're already looking forward to next year! 💚

"Feeling alone." 💚

It's one of the most common — and hardest — squares on our JA bingo Card.

Living with juvenile arthritis can feel isolating, but you don't have to navigate it by yourself. Whether you're a child, teen, young adult, parent or caregiver, there's a community here that understands what you're going through.

Our JA Connect Groups are one way we bring people together to share experiences, ask questions and remind each other that no one has to face juvenile arthritis alone.

Whether you’ve found support or are learning more about juvenile arthritis, share this post to help raise awareness that no family has to go it alone.

July is Juvenile Arthritis Awareness Month, and we're proud to shine a light on the incredible strength, resilience, and advocacy of one of our inspiring JA Champions and this year's Jingle Bell Run Teen Honoree, Aubrey. 💙

Aubrey's journey is a powerful reminder that arthritis doesn't just affect adults—it impacts thousands of children and families every day. Through her courage and willingness to share her story, she's helping raise awareness, inspire hope, and make a difference for others living with juvenile arthritis.

"2+ hour doctor trips." 💚

For many families living with juvenile arthritis, this isn't just a square on a bingo card — it's reality.

A nationwide shortage of pediatric rheumatologists can mean long drives, missed school, missed work and extra expenses — just to see a doctor.

No family should have to travel hours to access the care their child needs.

Learn more about what's causing the shortage — and how your advocacy can help change it. https://arthr.org/4eAeXp7
