We are thrilled to share that the 2025 Lupus Walk was an incredible success, drawing in more than 200 participants who came together to support a cause that is close to so many hearts. The energy, compassion, and sense of community on display were truly inspiring, and we cannot express our gratitude enough to everyone who took part—whether you walked, volunteered, or simply helped spread the word.
Your support plays a vital role in advancing the Masonic Medical Research Institute’s (MMRI) lupus research program. Every step taken during the walk brings us closer to breakthroughs that can transform the lives of those living with lupus. It is thanks to compassionate individuals like you that we can continue to conduct critical research.
If you missed the walk but still want to get involved, there are many ways to support MMRI. Donations of any size help fuel our mission, and we invite you to participate in upcoming events throughout the year.
One such event is our highly anticipated MMRI Golf Classic, which we are proud to host in loving memory of Sal Raspante, a cherished friend and supporter of our work. This year’s tournament, on Monday, August 25, 2025, promises to be a standout occasion, featuring two exciting rounds of golf and culminating in a vibrant celebration honoring Sal’s life and legacy, all to support cardiovascular research at MMRI. Whether you’re an experienced golfer or simply want to support a meaningful cause, we invite you to join us for a day that brings the community together in honor, connection, and purpose.
Stay connected with us for more details on how you can register, volunteer, or contribute to this special event. Together, we can continue making positive change.
