The Butterfly Gala is a wonderful celebration of hope honoring outstanding individuals who have champions for those living with lupus and their loved ones. The Butterfly Gala raises the profile of lupus, generates critically important LFA program funding and encourages greater public and private investments in life-saving research, education, advocacy and support services for those touched by this disease.
In years past, the LFA has had the privilege of honoring the late Senator Ted Kennedy, CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, Lisa Price, founder of Carol’s Daughter, Ted Turner, Sheila C. Johnson, co-founder of Black Entertainment Television (BET) and owner of the Washington Mystics, and leading biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies including Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, Human Genome Sciences and GlaxoSmithKline, among others. Guests have enjoyed the talents of Julian Lennon, son of late Beatle John Lennon, Academy Award winner, Jennifer Hudson, Mary Wilson, one of the original members of The Supremes, Grammy Award winner, Patti LaBelle, and other entertainment.
The LFA celebrated its seventh annual national awards dinner in Washington, DC this past May and will host its inaugural New York City awards dinner this fall. Click below to learn more.
