As a commercial real estate agent, much of my work is focused on networking. Networking has allowed me the opportunity to introduce myself to a variety of people as well as become more recognized in the community. As an additional way to work together with all the wonderful people we network with and utilize an opportunity to give back to the community, my company and I host an annual fundraiser for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) to help fund blood cancer research and increase the well-being of all those suffering with these cancers and blood diseases.
Party for a Cure was introduced two years ago and since has grown to an annual fundraiser that brings together local professionals and friends for an evening of socializing, networking, fundraising and fun.
This year our event was held at John Barleycorn in Schaumburg on August 27th. We had over 150 registered guests with many more that stopped in to see the festivities. Together, and along with our amazing committee, we raised nearly $10,000. In addition, we were able to bring together people who have recently been diagnosed with one of these diseases with the Society to assist them in their recovery. Not only did we have an opportunity to raise money, but we also had a chance to bring an increased awareness to LLS.
Keeping the mission in mind,
Viva Party for a Cure!
