Many thanks to everyone who recently supported the Lymphoma and Leukemia Society’s annual “Light The Night” event this past month. Through your generosity we were able to donate from George Fox more than $1,700 toward blood cancer research and, region-wide, Bon Appetit was able to donate over $10,000.
Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible.
Denny Lawrence (Bon Appetit)
