Butterfly designed used for checks, checkbook cover, and mailing

labels.

Classic Checks, one of America's leading producers of personalized

checks, checkbook covers, and mailing labels, has created a beautiful

butterfly design, and is donating 10% of the purchase price of

products sold with the design to the Lupus Foundation of America.

Thus far, the promotion has raised $50,000 for LFA research and

education programs.

The butterfly is often used as a symbol for the lupus cause due to

the facial rash many lupus patients develop. The rash usually spreads

across the cheeks and bridge of the nose resembling the shape of a

butterfly. Approximately four in ten people with lupus develop the

butterfly rash. Mr. Ken Illingworth is Classic Check's Vice President

for Marketing. " We are very proud to support the Lupus Foundation of

America in their mission to find a cure for lupus and provide

education and training programs for people with lupus, their

families, and medical professionals, " says Illingworth. " It's part of

our corporate philosophy to help worthy causes important to our

customers and our employees. "

, President & CEO of the Lupus Foundation of America,

says the cause of lupus benefits from this type of partnership. " Not

only does the butterfly check help to raise needed funds for LFA

research and education programs, it also helps to raise visibility

for a very serious health issue that primarily affects women, " say

. " We are pleased when corporate partners such as Classic

Checks join with the LFA in fighting lupus. "
