ABOUT US
OUR MISSIONTo educate and support those affected by lupus and find the cure!
A Board of Directors elected by the membership governs the Foundation. They are dedicated to upholding our commitment of responding to the needs of, and providing support services to all individuals affected by lupus.
HISTORYThe Lupus Foundation of America, New Jersey Chapter, Inc. (LFANJ) was created in 1975 by five young women from New Jersey who were all affected by lupus. For the first 10 years, the organization was run exclusively by volunteers. Today, LFANJ provides services to more that 3,000 individuals a year. The foundation is a 501 (c) (3) organization dedicated to enriching and improving the quality of life for individuals and families affected by lupus.
In 1977, the New Jersey Chapter was instrumental in founding the national organization, The Lupus Foundation of America (LFA). The purpose of the LFA is to provide a national presence and awareness of lupus. Today, we remain affiliated and are one of the largest chapters in the national organization.
