"The Lupus Research Alliance is very grateful to Ryan and Natalie Kalil for their remarkable generosity.  Their donation will be used to underwrite outstanding research into the cause, cure, treatment and prevention of lupus and its many serious manifestations.  Because the owners of the New York Jets underwrite all of LRA's fundraising and administrative costs, 100 percent of the donation provided by the Kalil family will go directly to research labs working to solve the mystery of lupus."

— Kenneth M. Farber, President, LRA
