Pennies for Patients



Aloha!
Just wanted to let you all know we are jumping on board with The School & Youth Program for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's "Pennies for Patient" program again. Despite the name, any money is welcome of course and it all goes directly to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. The drive will be ONE WEEK ONLY and will begin on March 9th.
a few facts...
*Every five minutes someone is diagnosed with a blood cancer. Currently there are more than 894,543 Americans battling blood cancer.
*Leukemia causes more deaths than any other cancer among children and young adults under the age of 20.
*Every ten minutes, someone dies from a form of blood cancer- an estimated 53,920 deaths in 2007.
*WE CAN HELP!!

Loads and loads of aloha and happy coin collecting!
