Welcome to the AARC Foundation

Arthritis and related autoimmune disorders affect over 4.5 million Canadians. That number is steadily increasing, making arthritis a leading chronic disease and a massive burden to Canada's economy.

This is not about other people; it's about all of us. The over 115 arthritis-related autoimmune diseases have tremendous impact on the lives of countless Canadians, often targeting young people in the prime of their lives. Odds are you or someone you know understands this reality first-hand.

The AARC Foundation at University Health Network operates with one priority: to raise funds for research that can put an end to arthritis related suffering. There is incredible hope and our leading edge doctors and scientists believe they are closer than ever to finding a cure. Support the AARC Foundation and be a part of a healthy and pain free future for us all.
