Lupus Awareness Month
Each May rally your family, friends and community to raise funds and awareness of the invisible physical, emotional and financial impact of lupus.
Thank you for joining us for Lupus Awareness Month 2023! During May, the lupus community joined together across the country to Make Lupus Visible and raise awareness of the physical, emotional and economic impact of lupus, while raising funds to support lupus research care and support services, and educational resources and programs.
While Lupus Awareness Month is over, there are still many ways to get involved and make a difference, including sharing your story on social media, becoming a lupus advocate, joining a Walk to End Lupus, starting a fundraiser, or making a donation.
Here are a few ways you can continue to raise awareness and raise funds to end lupus.
Lupus Awareness Month is all about educating others about lupus. Check out some tools to help you get started!
Show the world we can stand together even when we’re apart by hosting a virtual fundraiser for Lupus Awareness Month!

Check out our Lupus Awareness Month toolkit from 2023, and stay tuned for new tools to utilize for 2024!
Living with an invisible illness like lupus can be isolating, and sometimes lead to judgment from others who don’t exactly understand the daily struggles. Most symptoms of lupus aren’t always readily visible, but on the inside, it can wreak havoc on your body, organs, and even cause emotional and mental strain.
Just because people can't see the pain, doesn't mean it's not there and potentially life-threatening.
Help bring visibility to lupus, even when it can’t be seen! Thank you for taking the pledge to continue raising awareness and help us make lupus visible year-round.
