LFNC Launches 2012 5K Run and Walk for Lupus, "Double the Pace" Fund Campaign
The Lupus Foundation of Northern California has announced its 2012 5K Run and Walk for Lupus. It will be held on Sunday, June 10, 2012, at the West Valley College in Saratoga, CA. Individual and Team Registrations are NOW OPEN!
This annual event is LFNC's largest fundraiser and venue to promote public awareness about lupus.
"DOUBLE THE PACE" FUND CAMPAIGN
2012 marks LFNC's 34th anniversary of founding. For our annual fund campaign, we are seeking to raise $1,000 for each year that LFNC has existed, then double that goal! Please help us raise $68,000 by the end of June, 2012.
This campaign is symbolic of the lupus community's desire to double the pace of the development of lupus treatment, and hopefully, a cure -- encouraged by recent positive news and initiatives in the area of research.
Many employers match the charitable contributions of their employees, so your donation amount can be double!
