This September, during Arthritis Awareness Month, rheumatologists, patients, families, and supporters across Canada came together to Rally for Rheumatology in support of the Canadian Rheumatology Association Foundation (CRAF). Through matched gifts and community fundraising efforts, participants united around a shared goal: advancing the future of rheumatology and improving the lives of people living with rheumatic diseases.

Thanks to the incredible support received so far, we are pleased to announce that Rally for Rheumatology has been extended until December 31st, 2026, giving Canadians even more opportunities to participate and have eligible donations matched.

Every gift made through the Rally helps fuel progress in rheumatology. Funds raised support our vision of building a bright future for rheumatology through research, education and professional development opportunities, and innovations that strengthen patient care across Canada. These investments help researchers pursue new discoveries, support the next generation of specialists, and advance solutions that improve outcomes for patients.

The success of Rally for Rheumatology is made possible by a community that believes in the power of investing in the future. Every donor, Rally Champion, participant, and supporter plays an important role in advancing research, fostering education, and strengthening rheumatology care for years to come.

To everyone who has contributed so far, thank you. Your generosity and commitment are helping build a stronger future for rheumatology in Canada and creating opportunities for meaningful progress across research, education, and patient care.

While Arthritis Awareness Month has come to a close, the opportunity to make a difference continues. Matching opportunities remain available until December 31, 2026, allowing donations to go even further in support of CRAF's mission.

Whether you make a gift, support a Rally Champion, or help spread the word, there is still time to double your impact and help shape the future of rheumatology in Canada.
