The goal of our Non Profit of the Month program is to further awareness, promote, and fundraise to support some very worthy missions. After a successful initial launch with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, raising over $250 in September, Met Risk is bringing back the Non Profit of the Month program. This month, we have selected the Lupus Foundation of America to support team name Vivi Forte at the Walk To End Lupus Now on Saturday May 18, 2013 at South St. Seaport in New York City.

For the next month, for every Facebook “like” we receive we will donate $1 (hint:you can like the Met Risk Facebook page AND the article!). You probably like pages and statuses all the time, but how often can you do so and be proud that you did a good deed? You can help by sharing and spreading awareness.

About Lupus: “It is estimated that 1.5 million Americans have a form of lupus, an acute and chronic (lifelong) autoimmune disease in which the immune system is unbalanced, causing inflammation and tissue damage to virtually every organ system in the body. November 2008 marked 50 years since a drug has been approved for the treatment of lupus. There is hope on the horizon, and with your help we can find better treatments and a cure.”

About Lupus Foundation of America: “The Lupus Foundation of America is the only national force devoted to solving the mysteryof lupus, one of the world’s cruelest, most unpredictable and devastating diseases, while giving caring support to those who suffer from its brutal impact. Through a comprehensive program of research, education, and advocacy, we lead the fight to improve the quality of life for all people affected by lupus.”
