The ACR would like to thank all members who donated to RheumPAC during this year’s matching campaign, which raised over $27,000 from members and another $13,000 from volunteer leaders who made a pledge for each donor.
This year’s campaign was extremely successful, with donations from 139 ACR and ARP members, including 32 first-time donors who contributed to RheumPAC in November.
If you have not yet made your 2022 donation or want to tack on a little more this year, there is still time to give at www.rheumpac.org. RheumPAC has been working all year with Congress on many issues and is especially close to achieving several legislative successes. Help us finish this Congress strong and allow us to have the resources needed to educate the new Congress in January.

We also would like to take this opportunity to thank our champions of RheumPAC, who stepped up to the plate and matched a total of $81 for each donation from a previous donor and $196 for each first-time donor. This match allowed even the smallest contributions to have an enormous impact on advancing our advocacy efforts and helped RheumPAC raise more than $40,000 this November.
