The event will take place at Ambalu Jewelers at 36 Glen Cove Road, East Hills, NY. All are invited to attend the evening which will include Preseco wine, soft drinks and hor d'oeuvres. Our special guest, Angela Susan Anton will be introducing the applicant who inspired the beautiful design that has been brought to life.

Those who live with the incurable autoimmune disease of lupus have long seen the butterfly as its unofficial symbol. The metaphor of striving to break free from the cocoon that encompasses you and emerging anew is close to the hearts of those living with lupus and its debilitating effects every day of their lives. The Lupus Alliance of LIQ, a local 501c3 non-profit, strives to help those living with lupus successfully emerge from that cocoon by offering support, empowerment, and knowledge through the programs they offer. The LALIQ also focuses on awareness; and spreading knowledge through the programs they offer.

To help spread that cause, the Lupus Alliance of LIQ recently held a contest looking for creative people to design a piece of fine jewelry. The winning designer and the finished piece will be unveiled at the cocktail reception. The piece will also debut at the 22nd Annual Walk-Along for Lupus at Eisenhower Park on Sunday, October 18th. 40% of the net proceeds will benefit LALIQ and the people they serve in the Long Island/Queens communities.

Executive Director, Patricia D'Accolti, stated "It is an honor to be working with Ambalu Jewelers on this campaign, knowing they share the same sentiment as the LALIQ of giving back to and serving our own community right here on Long Island." LALIQ is the only organization located on the island and serves its lupus community here by providing grants, scholarships, education, advocacy, support and of course research.
