Many employers allow you to donate to Lupus Research and Awareness with payroll deductions.
Federal employees donate through
CFC. #10566 denotes the
LFA, #37283 for the
ALR.
Many state and local governments offer similar campaigns, as does the
United Way. Check with your
company's human resources department to find out how to designate donations to Lupus.
Many companies also match your donations. If your company does matching donations, ask for a matching donation form and include it with
your donation to your favorite
Lupus charity.

BenlystaŽ |
|
We have been closely watching the progress of
BenlystaŽ (belimumab), a potential new
treatment for Lupus.
This month it was announced that the
Food
and Drug Administration
has granted the drug a priority review designation. This designation is given to
medications that, if approved, offer significant treatment advances, or provide treatment when no proper therapy exists.
If approved
BenlystaŽ
will be the first drug approved to treat Lupus in over 51 years.
It will also be the first drug ever
developed specifically for Lupus. |
