Want to enjoy a night on the town in Manhattan while helping someone with lupus?

Bellmore, NY – Lupus is a devastating chronic autoimmune disease that has no cure and affects over 2 Million Americans. There has not been a new drug approved by the FDA specifically for lupus in over 40 years. Although lupus causes organ failure, seizures, rashes, extreme fatigue, arthritis, painful joints, memory loss, central nervous system breakdowns and more, there is still little known about the cause of the disease, and how to stop it.

The Lupus Alliance of LI/Q has been at the forefront of the battle against lupus since 1955. As a committed member of the National Lupus Coalition, The Lupus Alliance of LI/Q has been the biggest donor of research dollars to the Lupus Research Institute over the last three years. Recently, to aid them in their fight against lupus, The Alliance has added two new fundraising programs to their website.

Givenik.com is a unique fundraising program that provides the Lupus Alliance access to special savings on a variety of Broadway and Off-Broadway shows. For every ticket purchased through Givenik the Alliance will receive 5%. Just visit the Alliance’s website at www.lupusliqueens.org and click on the Online Giving loop. Once there, follow the links for Givenik.com and enter LupusLIQ into the organization code box. Then order tickets for the show you want, it’s that easy! Givenik is a secure online ticketing process supported by telecharge.com. To complete the Broadway experience, Givenik also provides Partner pages with special offers from popular Times Square restaurants, shops and attractions! Nothing could be easier; you enjoy a night on the town while your dollars help the fight against lupus!

The Lupus Alliance has also opened an online store through cafepress.com. Visit their website at www.lupusliqueens.org and click on the Lupus Store Loop.
