It all Starts Here.
Be the One Thanks to a generous contribution from the Jane Wyman Trust, the Arthritis Foundation has a wonderful opportunity to double your impact. We are thrilled to announce that the
Jane Wyman Trust has agreed to double every gift made of $10,000 or more
to our Be the One campaign from June 1 to October 31, 2019.
THE JANE WYMAN TRUST HAS COMMITTED $1.2M IN 2019 TOWARDS OUR EFFORTS TO HELP THE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ACROSS THE COUNTRY WHO ARE SUFFERING WITH ARTHRITIS. THE BE THE ONE CAMPAIGN IS FUNDING THE ARTHRITIS FOUNDATION’S SCIENTIFIC AGENDA. These four scientific initiatives will revolutionize arthritis treatment and care. Advancing Osteoarthritis Treatment
by creating a clinical research network and an Osteoarthritis Treatment Center of Excellence to discover new treatments and bring them to market faster.
Conquering Childhood Arthritis
by expanding our support of Juvenile Arthritis research to unravel the mysteries of childhood rheumatic diseases once and for all.
Cultivating a New Generation of Rheumatologists
by expanding the number of fellowship opportunities for rheumatologists to break down the barriers that prevent timely access to care in communities that need rheumatologists the most.
Collaborating with Patients for Better Health
by building a data exchange system to allow the doctor and patient to develop care plans in real time, because the patient’s voice is vital in their own healthcare.
Your Support will help advance our scientific agenda and speed up important discoveries that will better the lives of those suffering with arthritis.
ABOUT THE JANE WYMAN TRUST Jane Wyman was an actress, singer, dancer, and philanthropist who passed away in 2007. Jane had two children (Maureen and Michael) with Ronald Reagan. Professionally, she was known for her roles in The Lost Weekend (1945), The Yearling (1946), Johnny Belinda (1948) for which she won the Academy Award for best actress, and Falcon Crest (1981-1990). Personally, Jane suffered with the pain of arthritis for many years and was an advocate and leader in helping find a cure. “Jane was probably one of the most important philanthropists for the arthritis cause,” said Stanford Rubin, former national chairman of the Arthritis Foundation. In 1977, she became the second recipient of the Charles B. Harding award — the highest national award given by the Arthritis Foundation. In turn, the local Southern California chapter created the Jane Wyman Humanitarian Award. Afflicted with arthritis and diabetes herself, Jane was the lead person running the local annual arthritis telethons for about 20 years. Jane acted as the Foundation’s national spokesperson for many years, flew around the country promoting the cause and was a substantial benefit from an awareness standpoint. The Arthritis Foundation could not be more grateful for this contribution and for the many years of generous support from the Jane Wyman Trust. We also would like to thank our longtime advocate, supporter, and Be the One Campaign Committee member, Stanford Rubin, who helped facilitate this generous gift.
Jane Wyman was one of the original champions for individuals living with arthritis. As the national spokesperson for the Arthritis Foundation, she worked tirelessly to bring awareness to this invisible disease while raising funds. That is why we are proud to align her trust to the Be The One Campaign in order to transform the future of arthritis treatments and improving quality of life for arthritis patients. – Stanford K. Rubin, Trustee and former National Arthritis Foundation Board Chair
DOUBLING YOUR IMPACT By making a gift to the Campaign between June 1 and October 31, 2019, you can double your impact. All gifts of $10,000 or more will be counted toward the Jane Wyman Trust match. The match extends to all four pillars of the Campaign and will advance the work of these urgently needed initiatives. No organization is more determined, or better positioned, to conquer arthritis than the Arthritis Foundation. Every day we are working towards transforming the future of arthritis. We are thankful for your support and partnership as we take on this challenge. You are helping us advance the fight to end arthritis. We could not do it without you!
