Curious as to what a "virtual walk" is? The beauty of a virtual event is you can partake in the festivities where you want, when you want and how ever you want - you make the rules! Show your support for Lupus Ontario by raising funds completing a multitude of activities.

A great photo of the items at the "Walk for Lupus Ontario" booth that was put together by Jennifer Menezes and her team at the 2019 Boxing Trade Show. They hav...e raised a lot of money for Lupus research. As a business, non-profit or charity, identity and marketing is important. Graphic design, promotional material, trade shows. That's what is meant when they say you need to spend money to make money. Establish a brand and credibility in order to inform and it will assist you in making money. Photo by: Noor Abdel-Raziq
