Jane Krakowski Performs at 40th Anniversary Lupus Fundraiser, 11/22

The S.L.E. Lupus Foundation has announced the addition of Jane Krakowski, Tony award-winning actress and two-time Emmy nominee (of "30 Rock"), to perform at the 40th Anniversary Life Without Lupus Gala.

Beginning at 6 p.m., the Gala will take place at Lincoln Center's Avery Fisher Hall on Monday, November 22, and will feature a cocktail reception, seated dinner and a live and silent auction. The evening will honor the founders -- the Golick family -- and Human Genome Sciences/ GlaxoSmithKline. The S.L.E. Lupus Foundation has been serving the Lupus community since 1970, providing support for families coping with and suffering from this autoimmune disease; particularly those in and around the disadvantaged neighborhoods of New York City and Los Angeles. All proceeds from the Gala event will help aid in the Foundation's mission to promote and increase awareness, research and ongoing care.

Jane Krakowski stars as "Jenna Maroney" in NBC's Emmy Award-winning "30 Rock," a workplace comedy where the workplace exists behind-the-scenes of a live variety show. In 2009, she received her first Emmy nomination for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy for her portrayal of Jenna. She has also won Tony, Drama Desk and Outer Critics awards for her stunning and sultry portrayal of "Carla" in Broadway's Nine opposite Antonio Banderas, and won an Olivier Award while starring in Guys and Dolls with Ewan McGregor in London's West End. She earned her first Tony nomination for her work in the production of Grand Hotel, and has also starred in Company, Once Upon A Mattress, Tartuffe and Starlight Express.

Individual tickets range from $1,000 - $1,500 and tables start at $10,000. To learn more, call 212-685-4118 or visit LupusNY.org.
