Lupus Foundation of America Texas Gulf Coast Chapter, Inc.

Lupus Foundation of America Texas Gulf Coast Chapter, Inc. We are dedicated to improving the quality of life for all people affected by lupus through programs of research, education and advocacy. Educate. Advocate. Cure.

Help us Solve The Cruel Mystery! If you join the fight, our Chapter will not have to concede victory to the terrible disease. With your support and involvement, our Chapter will be able to solve the cruel mystery of lupus in our lifetime and end its devastating impact on millions of lives. A Comprehensive Strategy

Lupus is a complex disease that requires a comprehensive strategy. Our Chapter's programs and services all have a common purpose: To improve the quality of life for all people affected by lupus. Research

The Chapter raises money to support research through the Lupus Foundation of America's National Research program, Bringing Down The Barriers™, which aggressively pursues an agenda to find answers to the most difficult questions and advance the science and medicine of lupus. Our national research program has a unique three-pronged strategy: lead special initiatives, fund researchers and advocate for expanded investment. Education & Support Services

Through the Chapter sponsored programs and one-on-one interaction with our staff, we answer questions about lupus, provides tools, resources and professional referrals to the lupus community. In addition, we help guide individuals and families through the complexities of living with lupus and promote a better quality of life. Awareness Effects

Our Chapter conducts outreach efforts and share stories of those who suffer from lupus to increase awareness of lupus, bring greater attention to the disease and its devastating impact, and rally public support to join the fight to end lupus. Advocacy Efforts

Our Chapter advocates on behalf of all people with lupus, their families, and the health professionals who care for them. We educate government officials and industry leaders on the urgent need to expand public and private investment in lupus research, educational programs, and support services.

💜 “I never thought I could make a difference in lupus research… until I joined a clinical trial.” 💜

Stories like this are powerful — and they’re real. Every person living with lupus has a unique experience, and clinical trials turn those experiences into progress.

Did you know?
🔹 1.5 million Americans are living with lupus.
🔹 Only a small fraction ever enroll in clinical trials — yet these studies are essential to finding new treatments and improving care.
🔹 Participants not only help advance science but may also gain access to cutting-edge therapies and expert medical teams.

By participating in a trial, you’re not “just a number.” You’re a partner in discovery. You’re helping shape the future of lupus care for yourself and others.

✨ Want to learn more or get involved? Join us on the 3rd Thursday of the Month for a live, interactive discussion with trial investigators, community advocates, and people who’ve participated in trials. Ask your questions. Hear their stories. Find out how YOU can be part of the solution.

📚💜 Lupus Education Matters

Hispanic and Latina women are more likely to develop lupus at a younger age and often face delays in diagnosis and treatment. During Hispanic Heritage Month, we’re shining a light on the importance of culturally relevant education and healthcare equity.

The Lupus Foundation of America – Texas Gulf Coast Chapter is working to connect communities with trusted information, clinical trials, and support services. Together, we can close the gap!
