Iowa Arthritis Foundation

The Arthritis Foundation is a nationwide nonprofit that strives to improve the lives of the nearly 60 million Americans who live with arthritis.  We do so through hosting fundraising events which not only help raise awareness of the disease while celebrating those locally who have arthritis, but also to raise funds that support arthritis research and local resources and programming. 

The Arthritis Foundation is looking to bring our Jingle Bell Run 5K back to Iowa City in 2025! This event will raise funds to support our mission including funding arthritis research, as well as local programming and resources across our state for the nearly 778,000 Iowans who have been diagnosed with a form of arthritis.
