Recognizing The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Everyday Heroes

    ATLANTA, GA, April 04, 2019 /24-7PressRelease/ -- CSI STARS is proud to be named official Recognition Sponsor for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's 2019 Man & Woman of the Year campaign.

Running until June 8th, thirty compassionate, well-connected men and women will be working tirelessly raising funds in their desire to find a cure for blood cancers. The winner of the Man and Woman of the Year title will be announced at a Grand Finale gala on June 8th and featured in Forbes magazine.

CSI STARS is proud to support LLS and is rooting for our sales partner and all-around great guy, Bert Johnson. Bert's history with LLS is a personal, all too common story. He lost his best friend and brother-in-law, Sam Haygood, in 2011 after a four year battle with cancer. Bert is competing in the Man of the Year challenge to honor Sam as well as two local children, the Boy and Girl of the Year, who are blood cancer survivors.

Too many stories like Bert's
One person in the United States is diagnosed with a blood cancer every three minutes. In 2018, 4,824 children, teens and adults under 20 years of age were diagnosed with leukemia. Blood cancers don't discriminate.

CSI STARS is partnering with LLS to recognize survivors, fighters and the people who treat, support or inspire others in the name of fighting blood cancers. Each week we'll be featuring one story of hope and courage from LLS as part of our Random Acts of Recognition initiative.
