"What is Lupus?" 
 
 
Lupus is a chronic (persisting over a long period of time), inflammatory disease in which the body's immune system fails to serve its normal protective functions and instead forms antibodies (substances produced by the body to fight bacteria and other foreign substances) that attack healthy tissues and organs.
 
Best Cleaners Partners with the Lupus Foundation of MN
to Support the Annual Lupus Walk for Hope

For the third year, Best Cleaners is working with the Lupus Foundation of MN to bring attention to the chronic autoimmune disease, lupus. Because of their personal connection with lupus by both family members and employees; this local family owned business wants to help raise community awareness of the disease and help the Foundation raise funds for lupus research at the University of Minnesota.

This year’s Walk in Minneapolis will be held Saturday, September 8 at the Minnehaha Falls Pavilion, and Rochester’s Walk is set for Saturday, September 15 at Silver Lake Park.  The theme for this year’s Walk is once again "It’s all about Research!"  Last year we were able to present the University of Minnesota Lupus Research Center with a check in the amount of $60,000 from our net proceeds to help their efforts to find a cause and cure for this disease.  It was a much-appreciated gift, and we hope to beat that amount this year.  With your help, it can be done!

To reiterate, remember the dates - Saturday, September 8 in Minneapolis and Saturday, September 15 in Rochester.  Remember that teams are encouraged and always welcome to either attend or send in a donation under your name.  This is a day for friends and family to gather in a beautiful setting to have fun and help a great cause.  Most important, remember that "It’s all about Research!" and that we’re trying to help quash the lupus disease once and for all.

If youre interested in participating in the Walk and forming a team, click on team packet for helpful materials. If youd like to know more about lupus or the work of the Lupus Foundation of MN go to www.lupusmn.org. We all appreciate your caring interest!

Net proceeds go to the University of Minnesota Lupus Research Center. Thanks for your support...
