Dear Friends,
I’m sure you agree—2020 was a year like no other.
Yet, despite the challenges presented by COVID-19, the Lupus Research Alliance (LRA) managed – thanks to loyal supporters like you – to find creative solutions to keep the lupus community and our pioneering research where they belong: front and center
I’m proud to say that at the very onset of the pandemic, the LRA acted quickly with utmost care to disseminate the most critical, up-to-date information to those most at risk. Immediately, we began posting regular updates on our website designed to inform and allay fears. We also created the helpful Lupus and COVID-19: What You Need to Know webcast series.
Through it all, we were mandated to find innovative ways to generate the funds that keep LRA research on track—in a world where we could no longer fundraise in person.
In an outpouring of genuine compassion, generosity, and determination to keep our scientific investigations going forward, our donors supported the LRA in extraordinary ways.
So, as you read about our many successes, please remember that you made all of these accomplishments possible!
In sincerest gratitude for your tremendous support,
Kenneth M. Farber
LRA President and CEO
