Light the Night - Let's Make History

Light the Night - Let's Make History

I’d like to extend a very heartfelt thank you to each of you who has taken the time to read about my mission connection with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and donate to this important cause. Your compassion and generosity is what makes this lifesaving work possible. As I have shared with you, my mother Bonnie Ostroff, served as President of the Upstate New York Chapter of The Leukemia Society of America, which is now called the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, for almost 5 years, between 1963 and 1968. Today, almost 50 years to the day after my mother stepped down from this position, I’ve had the honor of beginning my service as Chairman for the Upstate New York/Vermont Chapter of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. My mother would be so proud of the progress this organization has made and the mission they continue to pursue to cure blood cancers and provide critical support to blood cancer patients and their families. 

Now with the Light the Night Walk quickly approaching, we are close to raising an amazing $450,000 for the walk. But in honor of my mother stepping down as chairperson 50 years ago, I’d like to raise $50,000 more to reach the historic mark of $500,000. I’d like to ask you to join me a bold effort to reach this record setting goal. From now until the Light the Night Walk on October 13th, I will match every donation of $500 or more up to $25,000 made to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

While amazing strides have been made in the fight against blood cancer over the last 50 years, our mission today remains the same as it did then, to find a CURE for these diseases. Every donation makes a difference. These funds go directly towards groundbreaking research, blood cancer treatment, and local patient assistance programs.

Please consider joining me in our mission to help honor those who started this great chapter over 50 years ago by donating here today: https://pages.lightthenight.org/uny/AlbanyNY18/RickLTN18
