Arthritis and AOII            

Through the years, the AOII Foundation has been proud to provide research grants which partially fund dozens of arthritis related projects.   The Southern Orange County Chapter of AOII has contributed the proceeds from the Annual Boutique to the Arthritis Foundation for the last 25 years. 

Community Service   

While AOII officially supports Arthritis, Juvenile Arthritis and related diseases as our International Philanthropy, chapters are encouraged to support of causes of their own choosing.   

The time served and funds raised through these efforts benefit local communities all across the U.S. and Canada.   The list of community service projects is lengthy and thousands of volunteer hours are logged each year by AOII collegiate and alumnae chapters.  The following is a very abbreviated list of projects our chapters have participated in during the past year (* SOC chapter member projects):
