Do you know
someone with Lupus?
What
exactly is Lupus, you ask? Lupus is a chronic, autoimmune disease that occurs
when your body’s immune system attacks your own tissues and organs. Nine out of
ten people with Lupus are women. In case you didn’t know, May is Lupus
Awareness Month. What does that mean? It is an annual observance to call
attention to Lupus and its impact on the lives of millions of individuals and
families.
For
the past 5 years, Sigma Upsilon Nu, SL Sorority has worked to raise awareness
and money for this chronic disease as it is close to our hearts. In hopes of
bringing awareness and raising money, we are hosting a Month of Events for both
Lupus Foundation of America and UK.
We will kick off the month on Friday
May 1st from 6:00 pm slt – 9 pm slt with a DJ event. Every Saturday
there after, some of the hottest DJs in SL have donated their time to this
cause from 6 pm -10 pm slt. On Sunday, May 24 will be our annual Lupus Fashion
Show in which we showcase some top as well as up and coming designers on the
grid. We will close out the month on May 30 with live performances from several
of SL’s finest performers.
In addition to the above mentioned
events, numerous designers have set up shop at the Lupus Awareness Fair. There
you will find some Lupus exclusives as well as some designs that they are known
for, proceeds will be donated to the cause. And we have not forgotten about you
avid hunters. There will also be a sim-wide hunt.
How can you
help, you ask?
Come out and
support SuN as we raise awareness and funds for Lupus. I’m sure you will find
something to meet your needs.
All event
will be held at Sigma Lupus Sim.
