National Lupus Awareness Month

During the month of May you may notice purple ribbons tied on the downtown Crystal Lake trees. This is in support for National Lupus Awareness Month, and purple is the Lupus support color.

Saturday, May 11th (9am – 4pm) Downtown will be hosting its annual Flower Sale Fundraiser from 9am – 4pm. They will be selling all sorts of potted plants, hanging baskets, etc. The flowers are provided by Countryside Flowershop & Nursery. Any sale of a PURPLE flower/plant will generate an extra donation to the Lupus Foundation!  Location: Corner of Williams and Brink 

Individuals raising awareness and funds for Lupus will have a tent setup in front of Benedicts La Strata. They will have multiple prizes, gift baskets, etc. which will be raffled off as a fundraiser for Lupus. Stop by their tent to learn more and support the cause.
