For 2024, Dragon Con’s Official Charity is the Arthritis Foundation, which leads the fight to conquer arthritis, affecting nearly 60 million men, women, and children in the United States. It was founded in 1948 with a goal to attack the challenges of arthritis through a national program to fund medical research and provide better support to patients.

For over 75 years, the Arthritis Foundation has boldly pursued a cure for America’s #1 cause of disability while championing the fight to conquer arthritis with life-changing science, resources, advocacy, and community connections.

The Arthritis Foundation brings hope to children with juvenile arthritis and their families through life-changing programs and funding for advanced treatments through committed partners.

No matter where you are in your arthritis journey, you are not alone. The Arthritis Foundation is here with resources and support to help you live your best life.

Dragon Con will match all donations up to $125,000!
