The Cooper Family Foundation has pledged $200,000 to the Lupus Foundation of America (LFA). Additionally, they have challenged us to match their pledge with new contributions from supporters of the LFA.
Any gift that you contribute between now and August 15, 2008 will be matched by the Cooper Family Foundation.
Your contribution will advance desperately needed research. Last year, the LFA could afford to fund only one in four requests from scientists working to bring us closer to new treatments and the answers patients and families still await.
Think of how much more impact your gift will have when it is matched dollar-for-dollar by the Cooper Family Challenge. Your investment will have double the impact on our life-saving work, and will go twice as far in our fight against this life-threatening, life diminishing disease.
With your gift today -- doubled by the $200,000 Cooper Family Challenge -- we can continue to fund promising research which yields new treatments, new hope, and ultimately, a cure!
Thank you for giving generously now, when your gift will go twice as far!
Family life inevitably changes when a family member is diagnosed with lupus. Chores need to be redistributed, responsibilities shared, and everyone in the family must try to remain flexible. There will be emotional considerations as well.
