Volunteering with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society has been a passion of mine for some time. When I was in high school, my dad was diagnosed with Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia with the Philadelphia Chromosome, and it was life changing not only for him, but for my family, as well.

As of this year, my dad has been in remission for seven years, which is such an incredible achievement. Every year we walk in the Light the Night Walk in Long Branch, NJ to continue to help find a cure for blood cancers.

A Fun Night for a Great Cause

This year, we are holding a fundraising event, “Raffle for a Cure,” to help create awareness for this worthy cause!

It will be at Central Park Bar & Grill in Roselle, NJ from 5-9 pm, where we will have a gift basket giveaway, 50/50, and sports ticket raffles that evening. All proceeds from the raffles will go directly to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. In addition to the raffles, all proceeds from the shot wheel that night will go directly to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

Come out for a night of fun, great food, and drinks for a wonderful cause! If you cannot make the event but would like donate, you can donate directly to our Light the Night Team.
