THANK YOU to everyone who attended and supported the Metro Detroit Walk for Lupus! 💜 We are incredibly grateful to every participant, volunteer, donor and sponsor whose support made this meaningful day possible. Together, we are reminding those living with lupus that they are not alone and continuing to work toward a future with a cure. We raised over $14,000 in support of vital lupus resources and services throughout the state of Michigan.

Thank you to our top fundraising teams: Dimond Strong, Team Madi, Livin’ La Vida Lupie, Connie Croff and K’s Purple Butterflies. We couldn’t have done this without our event sponsors: AstraZeneca, Genentech and Revival Research Institute. Thank you to our volunteers, generous silent auction & in-kind donors.
