HEALTH SAFETY PROTOCOLS AT IN-PERSON WALK WITH US TO CURE LUPUS EVENTS

The health and safety of our lupus community is the Lupus Research Alliance’s (LRA) highest priority. The LRA will follow all state and local mandates regarding COVID-19 health recommendations at our events. Click here to read MetLife Stadium’s COVID protocols.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

If you’re not feeling well, or have been recently exposed to COVID-19, we ask that you please stay home to protect participants, volunteers, and staff from potential infection.

We strongly recommend wearing masks at our events to help protect members of our lupus community who are immunocompromised and therefore at a greater risk for COVID-19 infection. We will have masks available on Walk day for all participants. All Walk day volunteers will be asked to wear either face shields or masks (which will be available on-site), and all participants should aim to follow social distance protocols where possible. Hand sanitizer will be available throughout our event.

FOOD

For maximum food safety on Walk day, we will have available individual water bottles and light grab & go refreshments.

DONATION DROP OFF

To reduce close contact interactions, please donate online to your individual Walk pages or mail checks to the Lupus Research Alliance office (270 Madison Avenue, Suite 300, New York, NY 10016.  Please include NJ and your team name in the memo line). If you have cash donations to turn in on Walk day, please seal them in an envelope with your team’s name and enclose any important acknowledgement information.

GET THE MOST OUT OF THE NJ WALK!

Start your day by visiting the Registration Tent to drop off any donations and pick up your walker T-shirt (if eligible).  Grab a cup of coffee or snack and check out sponsor and activity tents.  Meet and greet with other attendees and lupus warriors.  And expect inspiring speakers before we launch the Walk.

FUNDRAISING PERK:

Talk the Walk, Wear the Walk!  (Any registered participant that raises $125 or more by Walk day is eligible for a 2024 NJ Walk T-shirt.)

Walk T-shirts are only available in person on Walk day.
