Lupus Walk

Purple smoke and crowd cheering for purple ribbon cutting to start lupus walk

MMRI, in partnership with the Lupus and Allied Diseases Association, Inc., was thrilled to have held the area’s first Lupus Walk to support lupus research in Utica, New York at the Masonic Care Community Campus. Over 350 participants from across the region joined us to walk a one or three mile course. The event began with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and press conference featuring local elected officials, followed by a delightful BBQ fundraiser. MMRI is optimistic that next year’s event will be even larger, aiming to double our participation! Be sure to save the date for next years walk! Saturday, May, 17, 2025.
