SAVANNAH, Ga.) Savannah based Enmarket is celebrating a continued commitment of support for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Light The Night® campaign by announcing it has raised $1,183,392.00 for the organization over the past eleven years.

The announcement was made at the local annual Light the Night event on Friday, October 13th, in downtown Savannah. Coming together for a common goal, friends, family, and co-workers formed fundraising teams and gathered to celebrate and honor or remember those touched by cancer.

In September, Enmarket launched its annual company-wide initiative across Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina by encouraging customers to donate at check-out to benefit LLS. The 2023 campaign raised $142,350.00 to help fight against blood cancers.

"Over the past eleven years, Enmarket's customers have joined with us in raising more than $1 million to benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society," said Matt Clements, president of Enmarket. "Their support will go a long way to helping the LLS find a cure for leukemia and lymphoma, and we appreciate their generosity."

Light The Night is a series of fundraising campaigns benefiting LLS and its funding of innovative research and support for blood cancer patients. Culminating in inspirational and memorable events after dark throughout the fall, participants in 140 communities across North America join together carrying illuminated lanterns to bring light to the darkness of cancer – white lanterns for survivors, red for supporters, and gold in memory of loved ones lost to cancer. Enmarket has helped to make an exciting milestone happen this year for LLS, by nationally hitting the $1 billion milestone raised through Light The Night!

"We are overwhelmed and humbled by the extraordinary generosity of Enmarket's employees and customers who have demonstrated unwavering support of LLS and our mission to cure blood cancers and improve the quality of life for patients and their families," said Amanda Yancey, LLS Georgia – South Carolina region executive director. "It is inspiring to see this outpouring of love that brings light to the darkness of cancer."

Since its founding in 1949, LLS has invested nearly $1.6 billion in groundbreaking research, pioneering many of today's most innovative approaches. The organization strives to find cures and ensure patients can access the lifesaving treatments they need. When someone experiences the fear and uncertainty of a cancer diagnosis, LLS provides hope, compassion, education, and support.
