Celebrating our 10th year of recognizing “women of achievement” across all industries, we have renamed our Lupus Handbag Luncheon to truly reflect the mission of the Lupus Research Alliance as the world’s leading lupus research organization.

The Lupus Luminary Luncheon for Science will honor innovative and inspiring women while providing an opportunity to catch up with friends and go home with a fantastic handbag. Held once again at the at the iconic Plaza Hotel in NYC, the celebration features luxury handbag opportunities and an “in the room” drawing for exclusive high-end bags donated by premier boutiques and designers. 100% of all proceeds directly support lupus research.

This year, we will feature a conversation with award winning journalist, Campbell Brown. Campbell has nearly 20 years of experience in journalism, most recently as an award-winning anchor and correspondent for NBC News and CNN. She is currently the VP of Global News Partnerships at Facebook.
