Commitment to a Cure Breakfast
The Virginia Chapter held its annual Commitment to a Cure Breakfast, Wednesday, November 19, 2008 at the historic Jefferson Hotel in Richmond. The Commitment to a Cure Breakfast is a powerful one hour event dedicated to raising awareness of arthritis and related diseases, as well as raising money. Nearly 200 people attended to hear inspiring people share their emotional stories of how arthritis has not only affected their lives, but the lives of their families and friends. The event also included a national Arthritis Foundation video featuring all Virginians and the opportunity to join Arthritis Alliance, the chapter's annual giving society. This year's breakfast raised $65,000. Thank you Virginia for your continued support.
