The president of Preferred Utilities Manufacturing Corporation in Redding, CT, David Bohn spends much of his leisure time contributing to local charitable and philanthropic organizations. David Bohn supports the Arthritis Foundation, which is dedicated to spreading awareness and raising money to help individuals with arthritis find relief. Each year, the Arthritis Foundation holds dozens of events around the nation to raise funds and heighten awareness while creating community togetherness. For example, the Walk to Cure Arthritis takes place each May during Arthritis Awareness Month. Nationwide, participants form teams with family members, friends, or coworkers, and walk a little over three miles at a leisurely pace. During the Christmas season, the Jingle Bell Run takes place. For this event, participants are encouraged to dress in their best holiday costumes. The foundation also hosts events focused more on education and advocacy, including the Juvenile Arthritis National Conference, which brings together kids, teens, and families to share stories and discuss new treatments. This event takes place each year in both Seattle and Washington, DC.
