Returns For Leukemia is a fundraiser held each May by United Food & Commercial Workers Local 12R24 in partnership with The Beer Store to raise funds for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada.
BOTTLE DRIVE 2013
AT YOUR LOCAL BEER STORE
Paul Henderson and Joe Bowen talk about The Beer Store & UFCW Local 12R24’s Returns for Leukemia bottle drive.
On the weekend of May 25 & 26, 2013, customers are invited to donate all or a portion of their empty bottles (or cash), with 100% of the proceeds going directly to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada.
We need volunteers at our retail locations across Ontario to assist in greeting customers and collecting their empties. The event is held in May after the first long weekend.
Volunteers are needed on Saturday between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. and Sunday between noon and 5 p.m.
The donor test involves a simple cheek swab and if a match is found, the marrow ‘transplant’ typically involves a simple transfusion similar to donating blood. You can register through online registration at onematch.ca, it ensures a steady stream of new potential donors.
The gift you make today will make a difference to people with leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma. Your secure, online tax-deductible donation to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada (LLSC) helps fund lifesaving research and provides information and support to patients throughout their cancer journey.
