‘Spare’ us your excuse, Come ‘Strike-out Leukemia’

Mt. Prospect, IL — Sunday, July 19th will not be another lazy summer Sunday for the members of the Jessica Shayne Magid Chapter of the Leukemia Research Foundation. That day over 100 volunteers will be hosting their fifth annual fund raising event to benefit Leukemia Research.

Bring your whole family out to this year’s event, a Bowl-a-rama, to be held at the Brunswick Lanes in Mt. Prospect on Sunday July 19th. Participants will have three different ‘flights’ to choose from: 2 family friendly flights that start at 2:30pm and 4:45pm or the Pro Flight starting at 3:00pm for the more serious kingpin. Bowling packages start at just $15 and include food and beverage and all the bowling essentials. Other festivities that day will include a carnival with games and prizes for the kids and a silent auction for the adults.

A 100% volunteer group, the chapter over the last four years major fund raising event was an annual golf event held in Wheeling. In addition to the golf outing that day, they coordinated car washes and silent and live auctions. All their hard work in the past has paid off as they have raised over $100,000 to cure Leukemia!

The organizers were very concerned about the economy and their ability to continue to help fight leukemia. They have completely revamped their major event to be both more family and economy friendly.

With summer having officially started, all should mark their calendars for July 19th for a fun action packed day. The best part about it is your family is sure to have a great time at a reasonable price all while helping to find a cure for Leukemia.

Let’s take a look at how your donations have a positive impact in fighting blood cancers! Your bowling registration fee and/or your sponsorship dollars go toward the Leukemia Research Foundation and specifically the Jessica Shayne Magid “Chai” Chapter, one of 20+ chapters dedicated to The Leukemia Research Foundation’s mission to cure leukemia by funding innovative research, and to support patients and families. As the nation’s largest nonprofit focused exclusively on funding leukemia research, the Foundation has invested millions to accelerate the development of new and better treatments and an ultimate cure for leukemia. Your donations support research that enables investigators to complete studies around this world to ultimately find a cure for blood cancers.

Lives are both served and saved with your donations.  Thank you in advance for your support! Your participation in our bowling event, by being a sponsor or a bowler, makes a huge difference in the lives of those inflicted with blood cancers.

I wanted to provide a statistic from the LRF site that exemplifies our advances in research in the last century:

Every penny counts to continue advances in the treatment of blood cancers and ultimately a cure to eradicate these diseases.

We hope you are enjoying the site and getting excited for our new event this year!  Just a reminder that registration is OPEN and there are three options for bowling.  Flight 1 begins at 2:30; Flight 2 begins at 4:45 and the Pro Flight begins at 3:00.  Click here for more information about all three options.

We just received our logo for our 5th Annual JSM event, 1st Annual JSM Bowl-a-rama from our design firm dk worldwide. They have built us a new logo each year of the tournament, always adding a little polish and shine to it.   We still have the trademark pink turtle icon this year also thanks to dk worldwide! 

Drum roll please…
