Help us Solve The Cruel Mystery!
If you join the fight, our Chapter will not have to concede victory to the terrible disease. With your support and involvement, our Chapter will be able to solve the cruel mystery of lupus in our lifetime and end its devastating impact on millions of lives.
Lupus is a complex disease that requires a comprehensive strategy. Our Chapter's programs and services all have a common purpose: To improve the quality of life for all people affected by lupus.
Research - The Chapter raises money to support research through the Lupus Foundation of America's National Research program, Bringing Down The Barriers™, which aggressively pursues an agenda to find answers to the most difficult questions and advance the science and medicine of lupus. Our national research program has a unique three-pronged strategy: lead special initiatives, fund researchers and advocate for expanded investment.
Education & Support Services - Through the Chapter sponsored programs and one-on-one interaction with our staff, we answer questions about lupus, provides tools, resources and professional referrals to the lupus community. In addition, we help guide individuals and families through the complexities of living with lupus and promote a better quality of life.
Awareness Effects - Our Chapter conducts outreach efforts and share stories of those who suffer from lupus to increase awareness of lupus, bring greater attention to the disease and its devastating impact, and rally public support to join the fight to end lupus.
Advocacy Efforts - Our Chapter advocates on behalf of all people with lupus, their families, and the health professionals who care for them. We educate government officials and industry leaders on the urgent need to expand public and private investment in lupus research, educational programs, and support services.
We are dedicated to improving the quality of life for all people affected by lupus through programs of research, education and advocacy.
