Pledge envelopes are still available for people who would like to “Walk Along for Lupus” on Sunday, October 16th, at Eisenhower Park, Field 6 in East Meadow, rain or shine. Z- 100-radio personality GREG T will start off the 5-K walk.
Festivities include a wonderful lunch and a fun-filled “family” celebration, including; balloons, give-a-ways, T-shirts, music, the USA Skateasauras, clowns, magicians and more. October is Lupus Awareness month, and the Walk along for Lupus is the Lupus Alliance’s biggest event of the year. All of the proceeds from the walk go towards continuing and expanding the many quality of life programs that the Alliance offers as well towards lupus research.
This year the Lupus Alliance celebrates 50 years of helping the local lupus community. Why not come on down to Eisenhower Park and help them celebrate by making this years walk the best ever!! Over 2,000 people are expected to attend, and are hoping to beat last years total of over $275,000. School teams are encouraged and welcomed and may be listed in the Alliance`s end of the year PSA!!
Information and sponsor forms can be obtained by calling 1-800-850-9000, or visit the website at www.lupusliqueens.org, and register and collect funds right online! The Alliance will also be collecting old and used cell phones and printer and fax cartridges at the walk, as part of their recycling fundraiser. Look for the collection boxes around the park and drop them in.
