The Campaign

The competition will start on February 23, 2012 and will culminate with a Grand Finale event on May 4, 2012.

I am not allowed to do any fundraising (collect money) until the start date but I want to start getting the word out as soon as possible so you can make your plans to join me in the fight against blood cancers! There will be opportunities to support me with corporate sponsorships, personal contributions and even in-kind donations of auction items.  I hope you will plan to help me save lives by earmarking funds in your company’s 2012 corporate giving budget and sharing this exciting news with everyone you know who wants to make a difference.

My 10 week goal is to raise a record setting $70,000 and every dollar I raise supports The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s mission to cure Leukemia, Lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and Myeloma, and to improve the quality of life of patients like Andrew and Hailey and their families.  To date LLS has funded more than $814 million in blood cancer research leading to a doubling and tripling of survival rates in the last 60 years.  In 2011 alone they will fund more than $76.6 million worldwide.

My goal is to have fun reaching out to everyone I know to raise awareness and life-saving funds for LLS to continue their important work.  I hope you will join me so that we can “Make a Difference Today for Tomorrow”!

Please be on the look out for more information from me and save the date of February 23, 2012 when you can make your physical contribution to the fight against cancer! If you feel that you are called now to get your name or your company’s name on our Pledge List for their 2012 Giving Budget please email me a request at asmith@anthembank.com.

Thanks in advance for your generous support!
