In support of the Light the Night event, all of the enmarket stores sold paper icons to collect donations for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. The grand total raised was $30,174.87.

This fundraiser was in support of LLS’s mission to cure blood cancer and help patients and their families. Blood cancers are cancers of the blood, bone marrow or lymph nodes that affect normal blood cell production or function. Nearly 1.3 million people in the United States are living with, or are in remission from, leukemia, lymphoma or myeloma.

“Every year, we come together as a company to support the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Light the Night event," said Matt Clements, marketing director of enmarket. “We are so appreciative of our wonderful customers who supported the effort to raise funds again this year for this meaningful cause."

Savannah’s Light The Night took place on Friday, October 13 in Daffin Park. During the event, participants carried different colored illuminated lanterns to signify if they are cancer patients or survivors, supporters or attending in memory of someone.
