Join us May 30 in the Wheeler District for OKC's 2026 Walk to Cure Arthritis!
Walk to Cure Arthritis is the Arthritis Foundation’s nationwide signature event that unites communities across the country to put an end to arthritis. We aren't just helping the millions of people with arthritis to live better; we're charting the course to a cure.

The Arthritis Foundation is fighting for all people who live with the chronic pain of arthritis. As a Champion of Yes, it’s our mission to turn the obstacles arthritis causes into opportunities. Not only do we champion life-changing solutions and medical advancements, but we also provide ways for people to connect, break down barriers in health care and join the fight for a cure.

We put the needs of people with arthritis front and center of everything we do, from offering patient education to help them live a fuller life to making sure their voices are being heard in matters that affect their health and well-being. We're uniting hearts, minds and resources to change the future of arthritis. This is our fight together — and our fight to win. Be part of our growing movement.

Oklahoma City’s most anticipated culinary celebration returns to the OKC Convention Center on May 30 for an evening of exquisite flavors, fine wines, and unmatched elegance.
