Lupus Fundraiser - The Gallery Room at Bar Social Uniondale

John Mitty Wednesday, August 29, 2012

Christine Miserandino, a Valley Stream resident,  is an award-winning writer, blogger, speaker and lupus patient advocate. Her writing about lupus and her “Spoon Theory” of communicating about chronic illness has been featured in numerous newspapers, magazines, medical newsletters and television media around the world, as well as on her website ButYouDontLookSick.com, Facebook and Twitter.
 
This Thursday, August 30th at 7:00pm she will be holding the first  "Christine's Very Merry Un-Birthday".  The theme of this is to support Lupus Awareness and all the event items have been donated; from the venue - The Gallery Room at Bar Social in Uniondale - to the music- Bobby Fayder from Party Perfect NYC and many gift bags, and raffles that range from local to national businesses.    Wego Health and Alliance Health are co sponsors of this event. Generous donations from Hofstra university, ELF cosmetics, Avon and Restaurant.com have actually made the gift bag for each attendee worth more then the ticket!
 
Frank Mirando, one of the final four contestants from this season's Master Chef on Fox Five will be there as well to show his support for Lupus Awareness.  
 
All proceeds will go to Lupus Alliance of Long Island/Queens

 Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), or lupus, is a chronic, complex and serious autoimmune disease affecting more than 1.5 million Americans. In lupus, the immune system, which is designed to protect against infection, creates antibodies that attack the body's own tissues and organs -- the kidneys, brain, heart, lungs, blood, skin, and joints. Lupus is difficult to diagnose, difficult to treat, and a leading cause of premature cardiovascular disease, kidney disease and stroke among young women.  

Location:   The Gallery Room at Bar Social (Please note that this area has a separate entrance)
1002 Hempstead Turnpike
7:00 - 10:30pm
