I have been nominated for Man of the Year with the Society. The campaign is an intense 10-week fundraising event that began on March 7thand culminates on May 20th at a gala at the Marriott at Key Center in Cleveland. One Dollar is One Vote. Last year this campaign raised $148,000 in 10 weeks. The (female/male) with the most votes is named Man & Woman of the Year. Our team’s goal is to raise $100,000.00, and all proceeds support the Society’s mission: Cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma and improve the quality of life of patients and their families.
Funds raised are making a difference, but we have a ways to go. Cure rates for some forms of childhood leukemia have risen from 4% in 1960 to 89% in 2006. However, incidences of lymphoma are on the rise, and leukemia is still one of the leading disease killers of children in our country.
My hope is that you can contribute with a donation. This week I can earn an extra $500 if I receive the most online donations. It is all tax deductible and any amount is greatly appreciated!! If you can help, please donate online at www.mwoy.org/noh and click on the “donate here” link under my picture.
If you have already donated, I can't thank you enough and neither can the 40,000,000 million + people diagnosed with leukemia, lymphoma or Hodgins disease! Please pass this along to all of your contacts to support the Northern Ohio Leukemia and Lymphoma Society! All donations raised through the Man of the Year campaign stay right here in Northern Ohio helping those locally.
Finally, John Knuth of Knuth's Boutique/Shoes is holding a Ladies Night Out on April 12th from 6:30-9:00 at their Pepper Pike store location (Landerwood Plaza 30619 Pinetree Road, Pepper Pike). They will hold a fashion show with wine and appetizers available. Knuth's will generously donate 20% of all sales to my Man of the Year campaign to benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. PLEASE RSVP if you would like to attend, and bring a friend! I need to give John a list by April 7th, so please forward your interest to me if you and a friend would like to attend as soon as possible.
Thank you for all of your support!
Todd Stuart
Man of the Year Candidate!
