NEW YORK, Dec. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- The 2007 S.L.E. Lupus Foundation's "Life Without Lupus" Gala raised more than $3.2 million for lupus, a national record for funds collected at a single event to support education, provide services, and nurture research for the chronic and often devastating autoimmune illness. Nearly 700 supporters attended the December 3rd black tie event at the Marriott Marquis in New York's Times Square.

The evening's program was emceed by NBC's dynamic Today Show host, Hoda Kotb and featured a rousing 30-minute set by Broadway star and Tony Award winner, Patti LuPone.

Carol Weisman, who has lupus, and husband Michael Weisman, an Emmy Award-winning producer for NBC Sports, connect generations, personalities, and East Coast to West Coast through their countless contributions to lupus.
