May is Lupus Awareness Month! Lupus Awareness Month is an opportunity for the lupus community to join together across the country to raise funds and awareness of the physical, emotional and economic impact of lupus. There are lots of ways you can recognize and participate in Lupus Awareness Month; here are a few:
Visit our toolkit page to find sample social media posts, lupus facts and more to help get you started! We're excited that Eli Lilly and Company and Old National Bank on both Monument Circle and Mass Avenue will be lighting up purple to recognize Put on Purple day! We're hoping to get other businesses to shine a light on lupus so if you own or have a connection to a business who would be willing to do this, please let us know! |
As part of the Lupus Awareness Month celebration, we hope you'll join us at the Tibb’s Drive-in on the southwest side of Indianapolis for our Mission Possible Movie Night on Sat, May 15th.
