Help Spread the Word!
A key aim of the Take a Pain Check Foundation is to connect individuals with rheumatic conditions to resources and support networks. Using promotional posters in your place of work, around your community, or posting on your social media can help guide young individuals with rheumatic conditions toward our community. We kindly ask those who can spread the word and raise awareness to share our Light it Blue initiative to share our updated posters for each year by accessing our Canva link below. You can download the file in the top right corner. We hope that we can count on your support!
