The Jets, the Lupus Research Alliance and the Atlantic Health Jets Women’s Organization (AHJWO) will host Lupus Awareness Day on October 2, 2016, at MetLife Stadium when the Jets take on the Seattle Seahawks. This event is designed to increase awareness of lupus, a devastating autoimmune disease, and promote the Lupus Research Alliance’s mission to prevent, treat and cure lupus through medical research and raise funds for lupus research.
Prior to kickoff at 1:00 p.m., AHJWO members, along with Lupus Research Alliance staff and volunteers, will distribute purple wristbands for lupus awareness and collect donations from fans entering the stadium gates.
