Erin Kozaki was recently appointed as donor development at the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS)’s regional office in Santa Barbara. Businessman Corey Ribotsky has been a volunteer at the LLS for many years, helping it with its vital work for cancer sufferers, survivors and their families.

Kozaki has come a long way since her initial encounters with the LLS. While she has held other executive positions with the organization, she first came in touch with the Society when she joined Team in Training back in 2008, as a cancer patient, raising $4,000. Team in Training is the largest fundraising program of the LLS.

Today, thankfully, Kozaki is in remission of diffuse large B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. As the new director of donor development, Kozaki will work with LLS’s Santa Barbara regional office in an attempt to establish a stronger LLS presence in the community and help the LLS expand its activities in neighboring cities.

Bow Ties for Philanthropy : Corey Ribotsky News

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.

A recent article in “Entrepreneur Magazine” featured Corey Ribotsky, the founder and managing member of the N.I.R. Group, headquartered in Roslyn, NY, discussed the increased popularity of private investments in public entities, otherwise known as PIPEs. Despite the generally sluggish economy PIPE investing is seen to be rising. Ribotsky urges due diligence as essential when contemplating deals of this genre.

The article focuses on PIPEs becoming more mainstream as investment options while traditional financing becomes more difficult to obtain as the market for secondary offerings slows.

The article, entitled “Terms of Endearment” cautions that the terms of these deals must be meticulously scrutinized. Ribotsky commented:

“The company has to know who they’re getting into bed with. You want someone who’s going to be a financial partner as opposed to someone who’s just looking for a trading play.”
