Lupus and Fibromyalgia Awareness
Our mission is to provide education, support services, and encouragement to empower and uplift those living with lupus and fibromyalgia in an effort to help them and their families face the challenges of these incurable, debilitating illnesses.
2024 Butterfly Walk for Lupus & Fibro
On August 3, 2024, the Social Butterflies Foundation hosted an incredible event that made history – the first-ever indoor walk for lupus and fibromyalgia. The Butterfly Walk for Lupus & Fibro took place at the Boo Williams Sportsplex in Hampton, Virginia, bringing together thrivers, families, supporters, sponsors, and dignitaries for a day of raising awareness and unity.
2024 Chastity Corbett Youth Scholarship
Each year Social Butterflies Foundation provides youth battling with lupus and/or fibromyalgia, as well as children of survivors, with college scholarship opportunities to help fulfill their aspirations. This year we are proud to present Brianna Ramos as our 2024 Chastity Corbett Scholarship recipient.
Brianna is a graduate of Western Branch High School in Chesapeake, Virginia. She is the daughter of lupus survivor, Courtney Ramos. Brianna will be attending Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia.
Social Butterflies Foundation is proud of Brianna. We do not want to just see her fly, but SOAR! Congratulations!

Attendees played games, like spades, uno, and connect four; ate some great food, enjoyed signature Usher-themed Remy cocktails, won prizes, and raised almost $4,500 for the Social Butterflies Foundation to support our programs and services for lupus and fibromyalgia survivors.
