Lupus is a complex disease that requires a comprehensive strategy. Our chapter's programs and services all have a common purpose:

Improve the quality of life for all people impacted by lupus.

What's our focus? Educate. Advocate. Cure.

Education means physicians give confirmed diagnoses and start effective treatments sooner. Symptoms are more manageable, and can be less damaging, when caught early.

Advocacy gives visibility and takes away the mystery of lupus. We've been active in our communities by having our Walk to End Lupus Now events on HBCU campuses. Talking to the most affected group (Black, Hispanic, and Asian women between the ages of 18-25) means they talk to their families & friends about lupus, and a number of them get the health answers they needed!

A Cure– we need one! Lupus burdens our warriors physically by attacking their bodies from the inside, steals their financial stability & livelihood if they’re unable to work, and – if not caught in time – can shorten their lives.

So…how can you help? Sustaining gifts help to get treatment for those in need, advocate for patients like Lisa, teach healthcare workers about lupus, and support the Chapter’s programs to keep them running.

It’s never too late to join the fight and make a difference! Our lupus warriors will not have to concede victory to this terrible disease. With your support and involvement, we can solve the cruel mystery of lupus and end its devastating impact on millions of lives!
