Drumbeat to a Lupus Cure: The 21st Annual Run & Walk for Lupus - Sunday, June 14, 2015
Northern California's largest annual lupus awareness is only months away. Online registration has opened for the 21st Annual Run & Walk for Lupus, with the theme "Drumbeat to a Lupus Cure." The annual event will be held on Sunday, June 14, at the West Valley College campus in Saratoga.
We are going out in a big way to make northern California notice the lupus community, and we need you to join us. We need you to register yourself to run or walk, and spread the message to everyone you know. Even form a team! We also invite you to get involved in raising funds - the Run & Walk is the Lupus Foundation's largest fundraising event, and every penny raised is invested in the northern California lupus community to provide the patient-centered services, programs and research support that are so critical to bridging the gap between life with and life without lupus.
Remember, there are prizes not only for runners in each age and gender category, but also for the largest and biggest fundraising teams!
THE MASCOT CONTEST
What is the mascot contest? For the past 3 years, you have voted to choose the most adorable puppy with the privilege to be our mascot and lead the walkers at the 5K. KC Remley, pictured right, won the contest last year. Who will it be this year? It's totally up to you!
Have a man's best friend you want to enter this year? Just email communications@lfnc.org with a recent photo, owner info (name, address, phone), breed, sex, and age.
So how do you vote? Once we have contestants, voting will commence online at LFNC.org. Each vote is $1, and you and your friends can vote as many times as you like!
If you are still reading this email, there's a good chance you haven't registered yet. Please go and do it now and come join in all the fun for a great cause!
