We wanted a charity that had some direct connection to our group. This year one of our members was diagnosed with leukemia. The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (http://www.leukemia-lymphoma.org) has the highest rating on Charity Navigator for leukemia-related organizations, so we chose them.
Their mission is to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma, and to improve the quality of life of patients and their families. Your donations at the Tribble Bash will help fund blood cancer research, pay for prescriptions for leukemia patients that can't afford them, pay for counseling for patients facing the diagnosis of blood cancer, and more.
At the Tribble Bash, you can have your picture taken in a mound of tribbles for $3 and receive your photo on the spot! And we will have some items on sale. The entire proceeds will go to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society
