There are lots of ways you can recognize and participate in Lupus Awareness Month; here are a few:
  • Create a video and share your story on social media 
  • Attend Mission Possible Movie Night on May 15th 
  • Put on Purple on May 21st and post your picture on your social media and tag our Chapter
  • Share social media Friday Facts  
  • Start a fundraiser
  • Make a donation

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!
