Make Your Year-End Gift to the LFA Today

As we come to the end of 2011, we reflect back on all the progress we’ve made this year. Your support enabled the Lupus Foundation of America (LFA) to increase awareness about lupus, generate greater investments in lupus research, and stimulate the development of new, safe, and more effective treatments. Together, we have made great progress. But there is still much more work that needs to be done.

This year, three long-time LFA supporters generously pledged to the LFA a total of $100,000 — enough to fund a lupus research project for a year, like Dr. Vikki Abraham’s study on lupus and pregnancy.

"Our studies are moving towards the goal of working out better ways of predicting pregnancy complications, and better ways of treating them. Without the initial funding from the LFA, we never would have been able to accomplish this."

I am reaching out today to ask you and all LFA supporters to band together and match their generosity through our 2011 Year-End Giving Campaign.

Please consider making your generous 2011 Year-End Contribution to the LFA by December 31, 2011 to help reach our goal and support even more life-saving research initiatives in 2012.

Thank you for your support, and we look forward to another year of progress in 2012.

Sincerely,

Sandra C. Raymond
President and CEO
Lupus Foundation of America, Inc.

Hours Left to Double Your Gift!

We are in the final hours of our year-end challenge grant. If you contribute before December 31, your gift will double in value and provide twice the benefit*, but only if you give before midnight, December 31. We need to unlock these matching funds before time runs out. Please make your year-end contribution now.

Your gift will support our promising research, health professional education programs, advocacy and life-enhancing services to thousands of individuals affected by lupus.

More importantly, your gift will be used to provide hope for the nearly 1.5 million women, men and children living with lupus in the U.S. 

Give the gift of hope today.  Make as generous of a contribution as you can to the Lupus Foundation of America.

*The Scott James Exler Fund for Pediatric Research of the Philadelphia Foundation, provided through the LFA Philadelphia Tri-State Chapter, and the Louis Berkowitz Family Foundation have pledged to match your year-end gift.

Double Your Year-End Gift to the LFA Today!

During this holiday season, the Lupus Foundation of America (LFA) wishes you and yours health, peace and joy. Your recognition of our tireless efforts and successes to bring national attention and resources to lupus is deeply appreciated.

In 2010, the LFA's efforts have increased funding for lupus research, garnered greater awareness of the disease, and secured new education and support programs for people with lupus and their health care providers.

We are pleased to share that we've been handed an exciting opportunity to help LFA achieve greater progress in 2011. The Scott James Exler Fund for Pediatric Research of the Philadelphia Foundation through the LFA Philadelphia Tri-State Chapter and the Louis Berkowitz Family Foundation have both pledged to match your year-end gift. When you contribute today, your gift will be doubled.

In the new year, the LFA will launch significant research initiatives designed to advance the knowledge of lupus. We are eager to seize these opportunities. However, many of our efforts cannot take place without your support. We know you will not let this happen! Please make your year-end contribution today.

We invite you to reflect upon the great progress we have made this past year and ask that you support the Lupus Foundation of America as generously as you can.

Give the gift of hope today.

PS. Ten years ago, no one ever spoke about lupus. No one understood it. With your help, we will continue to speak out as the voice of the lupus community. Each and every gift matters.
