Lupus Ontario’s mission is to provide vital support, education, awareness, advocacy and research through the fundraising efforts of our staff and volunteer community to help those with lupus live longer, healthier and better lives.
Life Without Lupus
We provide 8 interactive monthly support groups for lupus patients throughout Ontario.
We provide education through our monthly newsletters, webinars, podcasts, and an annual Lupus Symposium.
We use our social media, website, and monthly newsletter to create awareness on lupus.
Working with our Medical Advisory Board and other partners, we support several advocacy initiatives annually.
We provide funding to the Geoff Carr Lupus Research Fellowship, The Honey Agar Fellowship for High-Risk Pregnancy in Rheumatic Diseases and 6 accredited lupus clinics in Ontario.
WALK for Lupus Ontario – This annual event takes place from May to September. We facilitate community members throughout the province to take part and organize walks across Ontario.
