In a move of solidarity, John Walter, the President and CEO of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, recently shaved off all of his blond hair. He did so as part of the Totally Baldacious campaign to raise money for cancer research and patient support. So far, from this program alone, LLS has raised $30,000 and hopes to hit the $50,000 mark.
As Walter said, “By shaving my head I am sending a message on behalf of LLS and all of our supporters, to let people with cancer know they are not alone.”
All proceeds from the Totally Baldacious campaign will support LLS’s blood cancer research funding and patient services initiatives. This is one example of the many creative fundraising efforts that LLS uses, and the support that they appreciate from individuals like Corey Ribotsky and so many others.
