Social Butterflies Foundation partnered with iNFLUENCE to host our Back to School Backpack & PPE Giveaway. We wanted to ensure that the youth were able to start the new school year off safely and prepared. We filled the backpacks with school supplies and PPE such as masks, hand sanitizer, and wipes. The Giveaways took place on August 15th at the Newport News location of iNFLUENCE and on August 22nd at the Norfolk location of iNFLUENCE. Social Butterflies Foundation thanks our community sponsors for their generosity: Langley Federal Credit Union, Walmart, and Community Knights. It was such a blessing to be a blessing to others! Together we will continue to make a difference!

2021 Youth Honoree- Te’lani Byron

Children Live with Lupus Too

Each year for the Butterfly Walk for Lupus & Fibro, Social Butterflies Foundation recognizes a young lupus or fibromyalgia survivor. This year we are proud to present lupus warrior Te’lani Byron as our 2021 Youth Honoree.

Te’lani is a 17 year old lupus survivor. She is an 11th grader attending Hampton High School. She previously attended Bethel High School. Her favorite subject is art. She’s pursuing a career in cosmetology focusing on skin and hair care. She is considering dermatology thanks to her dermatologist Dr.Annyce Treherne.

Te’lani encourages others fighting lupus to “take time to care for yourself , do your research, and speak up for yourself especially regarding your meds.”

Imagine what it’s like to adjust to the demands of college and cope with a life threatening disease at the same time. That’s the reality for young people battling Lupus and Fibromyalgia – which are three times as likely to affect African American women. Social Butterflies Foundation is very proud to announce that Dominion Energy has joined in the fight to help us provide scholarships for local students battling these debilitating diseases. We humbly thank Dominion Energy for awarding us a $2500 grant towards our scholarship programs to not just help our young survivors fly ..but SOAR! Together we will make these invisible illnesses VISIBLE!

To find out more information about our scholarship program, please email Mr. Shawn O’Keefe, our Scholarship Director, at scholarship@socialbutterfliesfoundation.org.
