Raising Childhood Lupus Awareness in the Tampa Bay Area
Denise Brown is a local Realtor, fundraiser, volunteer, but a mother first. For the past 4 years, Denise has organized Brooke’s Butterfly Bash, LLC, a non-profit to benefit children and families battling Lupus through the Lupus Foundation Florida Chapter and Tampa General Hospital.
Denise’s passion for this cause is her way of keeping her daughter, Brooke Brown’s, legacy of helping others. Brooke lost her battle to Lupus in October 2017. She was just 18. Brooke’s illness over the years defined her purpose of helping children by wanting to become a pediatric nurse. Denise now makes sure she is seeing Brooke’s purpose through. Denise’s goal is to prevent another child from suffering, like Brooke.
