NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 5, 2006--Lightspeed Holdings, LLC, a leading independent provider of brokerage services for active traders and institutional traders, is proud to sponsor its second annual golf classic to benefit the Lupus Foundation of America Connecticut Chapter (CTLFA) on Monday, September 18th at the Oak Hills Golf Course in Norwalk, CT. "We are excited about the opportunity to support such a worthy cause," said Stephen Ehrlich, CEO of Lightspeed Holdings. "The event was extremely successful in 2005 and we hope to exceed last year's level."

Lupus is a chronic, auto immune disease which causes inflammation of various parts of the body, especially the skin, joints, blood, and kidneys. LFA market research shows that between 1.5 million and 2 million Americans have been diagnosed with Lupus. Lupus is more prevalent than AIDS, sickle cell anemia, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, and cystic fibrosis combined.

The event at Oak Hills is open to anyone who would like to participate as an individual golfer, a participating sponsor or a silent donor. Oak Hills Golf Course is one of the finest municipal golf courses in the state of Connecticut. It is an 18-hole golf course, designed by Alfred Tull and opened in 1969. Oak Hills is located at 165 Fillow Street in Norwalk, CT.

The CTLFA, founded in 1973, is a non-profit 501-(c)-(3) corporation. Proceeds from the Lightspeed Holdings Golf Classic will help the CTLFA provide services statewide to those affected by Lupus, which include patient education and awareness programs in addition to supporting local research. With the support of individuals and organizations through this event, the CTLFA will be able to continue to help those affected by Lupus and find a cure.

Any individuals interested in supporting this worthy cause and participating in this event may contact Lightspeed Holdings at 646-393-4815.

While medical science has not yet developed a method for curing lupus, new research brings unexpected findings and increased hope each year.
