(FACEBOOK.COM/ENMARKETSTATIONS) Enmarket is committed to raising awareness and supporting The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in the fight to end blood cancer in our communities. Throughout the month of September, we will be fundraising for LLS Light The Night Campaign at every Enmarket location throughout Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina. Why do we commit to this cause? Because more than 1 million Americans are presently living with blood cancer. Because Leukemia is the most common cancer in children under the age of 20. Because every three minutes, a man, woman or child is diagnosed with blood cancer. Because a blood cancer patient dies every 10 minutes. But mostly to be a part of the cure…because in 2020, 20 new treatments were approved by the FDA for blood cancers & LLS (with your support) had a hand in 14 of those! Please consider donating to this cause when you stop by one of our locations for a fill-up or a snack. To learn more about LLS and the fight to end cancer visit: www.lls.org To learn more about Light The Night or register for an event in your area visit: lightthenight.org #fuelupforacure #enrichlife
