Children's Backpack
Children's Backpack

Help us put a specially designed backpack safely on the shoulders of every newly diagnosed child with arthritis.

Arthritis can rob young people of their childhood. The Arthritis Society’s Childhood Arthritis Backpack Program hands back childhood and helps kids be kids. The backpack was selected based on the recommendations from the Canadian Orthopaedic Foundation. Each backpack has broad straps, padding, and waist support to minimize strain on the vulnerable joints of young people with arthritis.

Launched in 2013, the program delivers an ergonomic backpack filled with information and tools to families of children ages 4-10 years with arthritis, helping them lead healthier, more fulfilling lives.
