Mercedes Drawing Deadline Extended
 First and foremost, we would like to thank everyone who purchased tickets for our Annual Car Giveaway. We are closer to our fundraising goal with the drawing than we have been with the past several drawings, thanks to your generosity. With the excitement building around the C-Class Mercedes that we are raffling off and our fundraising goal so close, we have decided to extend the drawing to June 9, 2013. This will give us the chance to reach our goals, as well as give anyone who's waited a little too long the opportunity to buy a ticket. If you've already bought tickets, of course, you could also buy one more (or three, or five!) To buy your tickets, please visit our website for complete instructions and to download a form. You may also call our office at 408-954-8600. If you're thinking, "Hey, June 9! That's 5K Day!" you're right! We will be announcing the winner at our 5K Run & Walk for Lupus. Come and be part of it! Over a thousand people will be on hand to cheer you on!

Do You Have Dinner Plans Tuesday?
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.
