Local Television/Radio Personalities Prepare for the Return of Lipsync 4 Lupus Fundraiser
Baltimore, MD. January 31, 2018: Local radio and television personalities will set aside their headphones and teleprompters in effort to help bring awareness and raise funds for lupus research.
Lupus is an incurable, inflammatory disease that attacks the body’s tissue and organs, causing unbearable pain and skin rashes; affecting more than 1.5 million people in the United States (www.lupusresearch.org)
The event will be held at Bill Bateman’s Bistro, located on 102 Chartley Drive in Reisterstown, MD Saturday, March 10th from 5P to 10P.
