12th Annual Lupus LA Orange Ball A Success


Maspeth, NY 718-416-1656 
 
A star-studded crowd was on hand for the 12th Annual Lupus LA Orange Ball and it helped raise over $550,000 for research and support for patients living with the incurable autoimmune disease.

The evening’s entertainer was Natasha Bedingfield, whose friend has lupus, and introducing the nonprofit founder was Paula Abdul, who had lupus but is now in remission. Abdul said she feels great and has never been healthier. She also mentioned that she’s a big fan of organics, but it’s hard to adhere to (http://goo.gl/xvj7J).

Earth, Wind & Fire bassist Verdine White doesn’t have lupus, but attended because his doctor, Soram Khalsa, was an honoree, recognized for his efforts in treating patients with eastern and western medicine. EWF begins a US tour June 7th in Chicago and will release a double album in September called Now, Then and Forever. White stays green by recycling and conserving water. “Don’t use so much water when you brush your teeth and recycle your trash,” he advised.

Red Tails actor Kevin Phillips was also in attendance to support a friend whose mother succumbed to lupus. “I’m always recycling, not leaving the water running, and having my bills emailed to me. Anything I can do to contribute,” he said.
