WOW is Walking to End Lupus. Will you join us?

Imagine a day when doctors can say, “There is a cure for lupus.” Until that day though, there is work to be done. That’s why we are taking action in the fight against lupus. Join us as we participate in Lupus Foundation of America’s Walk to End Lupus Now™ in Arlington to raise critical funds for the estimated 1.5 million people living with lupus in the United States.

Will you make a donation to help us reach our personal fundraising goal and support the Foundation's efforts to improve the quality of life for all people affected by lupus? A generous contribution of $25 or $55 can make a definite impact. What’s more, if your employer offers a Matching Gift Program to employees, you may be able to double your contribution with just a little bit of paperwork. Trust us, it’s worth the effort! Every single dollar counts.

Will you walk with us?
