Do You Have Dinner Plans on May 14?
Admit it, you like to eat out! That's okay, we do too! And we are, on May 14. Join us and Lupus fighters all over northern California. Help us out while you dine out for lupus!
When you visit one of the participating restaurants for dinner on Tuesday, May 14 (preferably with your friends and family), a portion of your bill will be donated to the Lupus Foundation of Northern California. Dine Out for Lupus is a joint effort of the Lupus Research Institute and the LFNC, and all funds raised from Dine Out for Lupus will go to expanding patient services and funding research efforts in search for a cure.
We hope you come out to have a great meal, and support a worthy cause.
