Hi Everyone,

As many of you know, I am running for Man of the Year for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. I am simply running to help the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society advance its mission: Cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families.  I personally have relied on LLS in time of health concerns and as an educator/administrator as students in my district have been diagnosed with Leukemia and Lymphoma.  It is heart wrenching to see the families of these innocent children deal with the shock and horror of such a devastating identification. 

     The Man & Woman of the Year campaign is a fundraising competition among individuals in the community who, through their participation, vie for the honor of being the Man or Woman of the Year. The candidates who raise the most funds during the 10-week campaign will be awarded the title of Man & Woman of the Year. Candidates run in honor of the Boy & Girl of the Year, who are local blood cancer patient survivors.

     After 10 weeks of fundraising, candidates and their guests will join sponsors and other prominent community members at the Grand Finale celebration for the announcement of the Man & Woman of the Year.  Celebrate the outstanding achievements of all candidates while participating in the excitement of live and silent auctions and enjoying fabulous food, cocktails and music.

     Man & Woman candidates are goal-oriented and compassionate. Their relentless efforts are focused on making life better for hundreds of thousands of patients battling blood cancers: leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma.

Funds raised by Man & Woman of the Year participants are used for:

Ø Lifesaving blood cancer research

Ø Financial assistance to cover patient expenses for transportation, medication and testing

Ø Free educational materials and events for patients and their families

Ø Local programs such as Family Support Groups and First Connection, a peer-to-peer counseling program

Ø Comprehensive, personalized assistance through the Information Resource Center

    It is my hope that you will give us your support.  Man and Woman of the year company sponsors will benefit from publicity, advertising, and will gain visibility among a select group of community influential’s, as well as enhancing their image of public consciousness and community involvement.  Man and Woman of the Year sponsorship is an opportunity for a company to feel pride with both internal and external constituents.   I have a sponsorship package if anyone knows of an organization that might be interested in donating. 

    If you are interested in making a donation or have some other ideas I would be more than happy to speak with you.  All donations should be made out to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and dated between March 7, 2011 and May 20, 2011.  Donations can be sent directly to Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, Northern Ohio Chapter, 23297 Commerce Park, Cleveland, OH 44122.  Please put my name in the memo (Todd Stuart, Man of the Year), if you wish.  If you want to make an online donation, please go to: www.mwoy.org/noh  All you have to do is click under my picture for making a donation and follow the prompts.  The site is secure and through the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. 

     I believe this experience will be the most humbling and inspirational in my life.

I look forward to hearing a positive response from you as soon as possible. In case of any queries, please feel free to contact me at 567.203.2950, email me at stuart.todd7@gmail.com, or see my blog for upcoming events and information http://toddstuartmanoftheyear.blogspot.com/
