With your generosity, since the inception of our fundraising campaign, we have raised nearly $400,000 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS). We now sponsor the LLS Scholarship for Blood Cancer Survivors program that provides up to $7,500 per year to support tuition expenses to students attending vocational, two-year or four-year programs who are blood cancer survivors who were diagnosed up to and including 25 years of age.
While LLS remains our focal cause, in recent years, we have started to direct some portion of our fundraising to additional communal projects. We are proud to partner with the Ulman Foundation, a charity dedicated to creating a community of support for young adults, and their loved ones, impacted by cancer. Located in downtown Baltimore, the Ulman House provides a unique hospitality home for young adults seeking treatment in the area. The grounds now include a “Tour de Courtyard,” which even features a small basketball hoop for guests.
We are also continuing our support for Jewish Caring Network (JCN) — a local organization dedicated to providing support services to families facing serious illnesses. Throughout our friend Rachel Minkove's struggles, JCN provided Rachel and and the Minkoves with endless practical support and kindness. A portion of our proceeds will be earmarked for this impactful organization.
This is a tremendous tribute to Rachel's memory and we are all very proud of the work we do despite the often disgusting brand of basketball that is played.
If you're wondering why my pic is a (in fact, my) foot, it's because I'm playing despite my sprained ankle, sustained on Weds, because that's what TDC means to me. Show your support and donate!
