Dec. 1, 2005
Camp J.A.M. (Juvenile Arthritis & Me) had to be rescheduled due to bad weather in Gulf Shores on the original weekend. But it took place later in the summer at the same location, and as always, everyone had a great time. This was our tenth annual Camp J.A.M. — an event that is free to the families and designed to be both fun and educational.
Camp J.A.M. (Juvenile Arthritis & Me)
Our 2009 weekend retreat for families affected by juvenile arthritis was a big success -- as they say, a good time was had by all. Read more about Camp on our News page.
10th Annual Tribute to Excellence Gala
Mayor Kip Holden, WAFB's Phil Rainier and AAOLA volunteer Robin Mayhall received awards at the AAOLA's 2008 gala, our biggest annual fundraiser. Mayor Holden was the evening's guest of honor, receiving the 2008 Tribute to Excellence Award, while Rainier received the Laurie Smith Anderson Award for Excellence in Healthcare Reporting. Mayhall received a Distinguished Service Award for her longtime volunteer work.
Second row: Award recipient Robin Mayhall, AAOLA vice chair, and her brother Van R. Mayhall, III; Loyd Rockhold with a guest; board member John Paul Funes with two guests.
Camp J.A.M. (Juvenile Arthritis & Me)
Our annual family retreat for children with juvenile arthritis and their parents and siblings is one of our most important programs. It gives the families a chance to relax and have fun together with the burden of the child's chronic illness at least slightly lifted. The kids with arthritis get to meet and interact with other children who share their unusual condition, and at the same time, they get to play and have fun in a safe environment overseen by arthritis experts.
Camp J.A.M.
The 2006 edition of Camp J.A.M. was a great time for all of those who attended. Parents, siblings, and most importantly — kids with juvenile arthritis — gathered at the Solomon Episcopal Retreat Center in Robert, La., for a summer camp-style retreat. Click on any of the links below to see photos of the fun and fellowship these kids and families enjoyed thanks to the volunteers and donations to the Arthritis Association of Louisiana.
You can make sure Camp J.A.M. takes place next year and every year to come. Please check out some ways you can help.
