All proceeds benefit the Lupus Research Foundation (LRF), Minnesota’s only lupus charity. Its Federal EIN is 815446248.
Founder and executive director Regan Birr has lupus. She was life-threateningly ill and wants to prevent what happened to her from happening to others. The mission of the LRF is to find a cure through awareness and funding research.
The researcher they fund, Dr. Timothy Niewold, has discovered a grouping of genes that can predict lupus. This will save lives because it will give people a chance to take preventative therapy (nip lupus in the bud before it ever even flares). Dr. Niewold is the Vice Chair of Research at the Hospital for Special Surgery. More information on Dr. Niewold can be found Here.
Visit The Lupus Research Foundation HERE and learn more about their research! Let's Cure LUPUS sign up for the golf tournament TODAY!
