Fighting Cancer One Cent at a Time

Once again, I’m raising money to fight blood cancer through the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s Light The Night Event. No amount is too small, and giving is easy. Here are some tips for how to fund your gift:

  • Toss your pocket change in a jar for one month and count it up.
  • Collect deposit bottles and cans in a bin or box, and return them when it’s full.
  • Go through the charges on your most recent credit card statement, and record the amount to round each up to the next dollar. A $3.35 charge would take $0.65 to become $4.00. Do that for each charge and add it up to get the total amount of your donation.
  • Pledge to give a dollar a day in September, which would total $30.

Once you have your amount, make your donation online. Thanks for helping me Light The Night!

 

Help Me Change Cancer This Month

Today is August 1. By the end of this month, you can help me change the future of blood cancer. I’m kicking off my 2016 Light The Night fundraising with a simple idea: Put aside your spare change for a month, count it up, and donate the amount you saved. (Click the image above to watch the video I made and learn more.)

Light The Night Team 2015

Rain didn’t keep Joe’s Adventurers away from Light The Night 2015.

Last year, thanks to the generosity of friends and family like you, my Light The Night team raised $4,185 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society to help fight blood cancer. This year, with your help, we can beat that goal. Your spare pocket change can get us further toward the ultimate win: a world without blood cancer.

‘Tis the Season to Light The Night

Light the Night Walk

With my teammate, Sue, at the Finish Line.

In September, I took part in the Light The Night Walk to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. The funds we raised will provide cancer patients with lifesaving research, financial assistance, education, programs, advocacy, and personalized assistance. To date, my team has raised over $5,000, thanks to the generosity of family and friends. If you’re looking for a worthy cause to help in this season of giving, please contribute to my Light The Night fundraising efforts. Making your gift in someone’s name is a great idea for holiday present. Donations can be made through December 31, 2013, and are tax deductible on this year’s return as allowed. Thanks for helping me Light The Night, and have a very happy and safe holiday season!
