Fundraising Milestone!!!

I reached my first fundraising milestone today!

As of today I have accomplished 10% of my fundraising goal!!!

I want to thank everyone that has made a contribution so far, I am well on my way to reaching my goal and helping to support the noble efforts of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.  

I also want to briefly mention Employee Matching Programs.  I'm not sure if this is true but the LLS told me that every 'for profit' company has to make charitable donations to their community and a common way companies do is through matching employee donations.  

For many employers a donation to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society through Team In Training is qualified for a matching contribution.  I encourage everyone to ask their employer if they offer an employee matching program or check out this link http://www.matchinggifts.com/lls/ and search for your employer.  If you have any questions about this please let me know and I will do what I can to help you find the answers you need.

Thanks a lot for reading,
Sam
