What would you do with a million dollars?
63 years ago
National Light The Night Team Friends of Heroes officially surpassed the million dollar mark in fundraising dollars!
With the dedicated support of our donors, walkers, team captains and affiliate teams, Friends of Heroes is well on its way to making a difference in the lives of blood cancer patients.
For every dollar donated, 75 cents is directed towards cutting edge cancer research and patient services that many patients depend on during and after treatment. That amounts to over $750,000 from our team!!!
To celebrate our first million dollars raised, Team Friends of Heroes is hosting a fun drawing. To enter, leave a comment on this post with an answer to the question:
What would you do with a million dollars??!!
Please include a valid email address with your comment so we can contact you! One lucky comment will win a Light The Night gift package. Comments will close on October 30, 2008.
CONGRATULATIONS Friends of Heroes for reaching this major milestone in only 4 years!!! Keep up the incredible work!!!!
