Research

We were able to present to the LFA‘s Research Initiative a check for $23,275.00. These funds are a result from the “Walk for Lupus Now” held on October 13, 2007. This year the national office of the LFA has received more grant applications than ever before. Our chapter’s donation will fund one of those exciting grants.
