Attention Parents, Teachers and Students
In an effort to increase lupus awreness to our community, the Lupus Foundation of Pennsylvania offers a wide variety of programs and projects for students from preschool to college. Some exmples of projects are: organizing speakers for health classes, setting up lupus awareness displays or participating as a team in the Lupus Loop. A plan can be developed to meet anyone's schedule or location. In addition to helping those with lupus, students may gain skills and meet individuals that can influence their futures. Please consider "Getting into the Loop." Call your local branch office or 1-800-800-5776 for details
