About the
Alliance for Lupus Research
The Alliance for Lupus Research (ALR) is a national
voluntary health organization dedicated to finding better
treatments and ultimately preventing and curing systemic
lupus erythematosus (SLE, or lupus), a debilitating
autoimmune disease. The organization is based in New York
City and chaired by Robert Wood Johnson IV, a member of the
founding family of Johnson & Johnson. Since its founding in
1999, the ALR has given more money to lupus research than
any non-governmental agency in the world. The board of
directors funds all administrative and fundraising costs,
allowing one hundred percent of all donations from the
public, and the proceeds of our signature grassroots
fundraising program, Walk with Us to Cure Lupus, to go
directly to support research programs. More information can
be found at www.lupusresearch.org.
About the Lupus
Research Institute
The Lupus
Research Institute (LRI), the world's leading private
supporter of novel research in lupus, pioneers discovery and
champions scientific creativity as it has successfully
demonstrated the power of innovation to propel scientific
solutions in this complex autoimmune disease. Founded by
families and shaped by leading scientists, the Institute has
generated more than $200 million for novel lupus research,
delivering many of the decade's most pivotal breakthroughs,
transforming treatment and advancing toward prevention and a
cure. For more information, visit LupusResearchInstitute.org.
