Community Cares Southeast Region | Southeast
Community Cares are individuals, organizations, and companies who are helping us to solve the cruel mystery of lupus by raising awareness and funds in their community.
Together, we are working to bring greater attention to lupus and to rally public support for the 5 million people living it.
Make Your Mark is the community fundraising program of the Lupus Foundation of America. Each year, hundreds of Make Your Mark members organize unique events and athletic feats that raise money to fight lupus. Use your passion to raise funds for lupus through a local event, special occasion, athletic competition or whatever you have in mind...
Host your own Facebook Fundraiser and support our mission. It only takes a few minutes to create yours. Just click the link, set your goal, and tell people why the cause is important to you. Plus, Facebook covers all processing fees, so the organization gets 100% of your donation.
If you're looking for additional ideas to enhance your fundraising event, we’re here to help! Feel free to reach out to us at infose@lupus.org, and our team will gladly provide support and inspiration to make your efforts a success.
