May is Lupus Awareness Month! Even though this isn't a typical Lupus Awareness Month, it is still important to continue to educate the public about this devastating disease and to raise funds. Our goal is to raise $5,000 by the end of the month of May. 

A portion of funds for this Lupus Awareness Month will go towards our PATH (Patient Access to Healthcare) program. To donate to our local Indiana Chapter click here. 

May 15th is Put on Purple Day! Wear purple to spread lupus awareness. Tell family and friends how they can donate and get involved. Go to our webpage for more information about Put on Purple Day.

There are many ways to get involved during Lupus Awareness Month. To look at a few ideas on our webpage click here.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has information for people at higher risk of serious illness from COVID-19.

Our in-person support groups have been suspended until further notice. All though our in-person support groups are suspended, we decided to use Zoom Meeting to provide our support groups virtually. For more information about which support groups will be on Zoom, visit our website. 

Based upon our patient services survey, we decided we will be conducting statewide Zoom meetings. Stay tuned for additional information about the meetings that will be added to our website and posted on our Facebook page by the end of next week. 

We would like to shine light on our Facebook Fundraising Stars for the month of April. Thank you to those who still donate to our Chapter during this uncertain time. To donate head to our Facebook page. 

The work we do would not be possible without our Community Partners. This month we are highlighting our Partnership Sponsor Lilly. Community Partners donate money for our annual A Tasteful Affair, In the Loop Symposium, and Walk to End Lupus Now. The work we do would not be possible if it wasn't for our Community Partners like Lilly. To learn more about becoming a Community Partner click here.
