Arthritis Foundation Announces "Bone Bash" Gala in Hollywood on October 23

Halloween-themed fundraiser will support programs for people living with arthritis, honoring Monica Boggs, with support from UCLA Health
Los Angeles, CA - The Arthritis Foundation will host its signature Bone Bash Gala on Thursday, October 23, 2025, at The Trophy Room in Hollywood. The costume-optional evening will bring together more than 125 guests to raise critical funds for education, advocacy, research, and local resources that support people living with arthritis. The event will honor Monica Boggs, a longtime community leader and former Arthritis Foundation Executive Director who was diagnosed with juvenile arthritis as a child. The night is presented with support from UCLA Health.
"Bone Bash is where fun meets purpose," said Louisa Rocque, Executive Director for the Arthritis Foundation in Los Angeles and the Central Coast. "Every dollar raised helps fuel research, advocacy, education, and local programs that give people back mobility, confidence, and hope. We are excited to welcome our community for a memorable night that makes a real impact."
The event will feature a hosted program, auctions, music, and special mission moments that highlight the stories of children and adults affected by arthritis. Entertainment will include a live set by LAERZ, an LA-based electronic music artist.
Arthritis is one of the most common causes of disability in the United States. More than 300,000 children live with juvenile arthritis, and millions of adults manage arthritis every day. Funds raised at Bone Bash will help expand local support, ensure families can access trusted resources, and advance the Foundation's mission to improve quality of life for people living with arthritis.
This year's Bone Bash is made possible with support from UCLA Health.
