Our Story
The newly transitioned Pennsylvania Delaware Valley Region is the former Philadelphia Tri-State Chapter and/or former Southeastern Pennsylvania Chapter. The Tri-State Chapter was formed in 2000 with the merger of the Delaware Valley and Philadelphia Chapters, both of which were founded in the early 1970s.
The Philadelphia Tri-State Chapter fully integrated with the Lupus Foundation of America’s national organization in December 2023 and changed the name to better reflect the full territory served which now includes expanding resources into Pittsburgh.
The focus of the region is to provide national services on a local level which includes the entire state of Pennsylvania; seven southern New Jersey counties including Atlantic, Burlington, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Gloucester, Salem; and the entire state of Delaware.
What We Do
