Owner & Philanthropist
Gillian Ravn is a loving mom and wife. She was diagnosed with Lupus over 13 years ago and since then has been trying to live well and give back despite Lupus.
After her diagnosis with Lupus she became very passionate about helping to find a cure for this horrible disease. Over the years she has been to the Georgia state capital to advocate for more funding and better laws supporting Lupus patients. She has also been an enthusiastic fundraiser for the lupus foundation of America (Georgia Chapter) in particular as part of the yearly Lupus Walk since 2011.
She has however always wanted to do more to uplift, support and empower women living with Lupus. This is where her dream of Butterfly Box came about. She wanted to bring a little bit of joy to Lupus warriors while they are going through their journey. She believed that the truest form of success is giving back in a meaningful way.
Today she continues to practice her Mantra –
