The New York Jets organization is deeply committed to supporting the Alliance for Lupus Research (ALR), an independent nonprofit organization dedicated to raising the profile of lupus and the scope of lupus research. The ALR was founded in 1999 through the vision of Woody Johnson and the support of the Arthritis Foundation. The ALR has one mission: to prevent, treat and cure lupus through research.
Since 2001, the New York Jets have raised more than $5.5 million for the ALR through Walk With Us To Cure Lupus events throughout the tri-state area as well as proceeds from the Jets' annual kickoff luncheon.
