The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) is an organization which works to cure blood cancers, as well as to improve the quality of life of cancer patients and their families. LLS is supported by many organizations, such as the NIR Group with Corey Ribotsky.

LLS has thought of a creative, sweet way to raise money for cancer research and patient support; chocolate bars. LLS offers boxes of 24 chocolate bars in two different flavors; milk chocolate with almonds and dark chocolate with raspberry. These boxes can be shipped to your home or directly to your workplace, where chocolate bars can be sold individually for a few dollars each. The proceeds are all given to support LLS and their ongoing fight with cancer.

At the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, founded in 1949, the mandate is to fund research and education with the ultimate goal of finding the cure for the various blood cancers. Supporting this worthy cause is Corey Ribotsky and the NIR Group, where he holds the position of managing member.

Supporting research which will eventually lead to the cures for lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease, Lymphoma and melanoma is ultimately the best way to support the families with these devastating blood diseases. 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.
