Bow Ties for Philanthropy : Corey Ribotsky News

Corey — Thu, 19 May 2011 07:45:06 +0000

If you’re interested in supporting The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, like Corey Ribotsky and so many others, one way to do so is with your bow tie. That’s right. Bow Tie Cause, launched one year ago by Dhani Jones, has partnered with 24 causes and sold over 5000 bow ties to raise more than $200,000.

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Bow Tie that is for sale through their website was personally designed by Dhani Jones and his friend Kunta Littlejohn. Kunta’s battle with cancer led Dhani to create the bow tie. Dhani’s symbolism behind the design is quite personal. When Kunta was diagnosed, he thought that he was going to die. This is symbolized with the black base on the Bow Tie.

The silver lining on the Bow Tie shows the optimism they felt as Kunta began to improve. The red blood droplets on the tie are the logo for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

Dhani Jones actually has quite an interesting background. Graduating from the University of Michigan with a custom-made major called Self-Representation, he has been a linebacker in the NFL and he owns a creative agency in NYC called VMG-Creative.

Leukemia/Lymphoma Research News

Corey — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 07:04:23 +0000

Recent research has found that “first-line therapy with zidovudine and interferon-alpha improved overall survival with adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) in a retrospective study – but the benefit was limited to patients with the leukemic subtypes.” This has to be somewhat good news for those suffering from leukemia/lymphoma. Nonetheless, there is still much work to be done. And that is why it is essential that people who care support such organizations like the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS), as does businessman Corey Ribotsky.

Corey Ribotsky and Cancer News

Corey — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 05:01:14 +0000

Corey Ribotsky, supporter of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) is only too aware of just how important it is to help fight cancer. There are many ways of putting in the effort, as Ribotsky shows by being a supporter of the LLS. But if one wants to do something direct and practical which doesn’t take up too much time, donating blood could be a good way. A recent study from the American Red Cross found that over 38,000 blood donations per day are required. Many of these are used for cancer patients’ blood transfusions who are being treated with chemotherapy or recovering from surgery.

Importance of Blood and Cancer

Blood is probably one of the few medical aids that cannot be in any way artificially manufactured. That is why donors are so important. So if you feel you would like to support cancer patients and don’t know how or don’t have the time to work with a group like Corey Ribotsky does, then this might be the perfect way for you to get involved. Giving blood doesn’t hurt and doesn’t take up too much time; but the direct medical strength and support you will be giving to cancer patients, is absolutely unmatchable.

There are so many people who do amazing things with their minds and spirits in the name of helping others. The Georgia Chain Gang is one such group. This group, including Dave Armento, Frank Fuerst, Jerome Rossetti and Tony Myers will be riding in the 2010 Race Across America to raise funds for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

Efforts like these, and like LLS supporters like Corey Ribotsky and the NIR Group make a huge impact in the fight against cancer. As part of The Race Across America, these riders will cycle from Oceanside, California to Annapolis, Maryland. Last year, when they took on this challenge, the team finished the race in 7 days, 8 hours and 19 minutes, while raising more than $80,000 for blood cancer research.

This is the type of energy that allows the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society to do the amazing work that it does. Such dedicated people and groups, as the Georgia Chain Gang, Corey Ribotsky, the NIR Group and many others, make all the difference in the battle against cancer.

LLS Monthly Giving Program

Corey — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 10:12:29 +0000

In recent news, the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society has launched a Monthly Giving Program. This program is intended to help with their fundraising efforts, as everyone understands that during economically difficult times, it becomes increasingly difficult to fundraise.

The Monthly Giving Program urges people to simply sign up to donate $25 a month, less than $1 a day, which will go directly to cancer research. Current donors of all sorts, such as Corey Ribotsky, certainly matter and make a large difference in the cancer research that the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society can conduct. Adding Monthly Givers to this list of steady donors will greatly help LLS to continue to get their important work accomplished.

LLS hopes to make this dream a reality through funding research grants to investigators in research centers throughout the world.

The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society also sponsors continuing education for professionals in forums such as conferences, webcasts, meetings and teleconferences. These gatherings and discussions are geared towards a large variety of healthcare workers including physicians and researchers.

Corey Ribotsky is excited that he, along with the NIR Group are part of this important organization.
