During the month of May, Enmark Stations, Inc. raised $76,097 by selling paper balloon icons in all 59 of its retail stores in Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina, and holding two “Full-Service Fridays” in Savannah. The funds raised were donated to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s 2014 Light The Night Walk.
The paper balloon icons could be purchased for $1 and were displayed on surfaces inside the Enmark stations. In addition to the paper icons sales, Enmark Stations held two Full-Service Fridays on May 9 and May 23 at popular Savannah stations where members of the Enmark management team pumped gas, wiped windows and handed out coupons for car washes for donations.
“Thanks to our generous customers, our company was able to support the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s efforts to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma and to improve the quality of life for the patients and their families,” said Houstoun Demere, VP/general manager of Enmark.
In the beginning of this year, Enmark was honored with the National Partner Award from The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society for its outstanding fundraising support in the 2013 Light The Night Walk campaign, when Enmark raised $65,648.
