Fundraiser for Leukemia and Lymphoma Society to be held on May 5

April 30, 2011

Every 10 minutes, someone dies from a blood cancer. Incidence is nearly twice as high among African Americans. In August of 2009 Ptosha Davis’ daughter Jori Lauren Leflore was diagnosed with AML Leukemia and admitted to Children’s Hospital of WI. Ptosha never left her side throughout Jori’s treatment. Jori died in February of 2010. She was 12 years old. The public is invited to support the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) on Wednesday, May 5 at Chili’s, 1601 W. Miller Park Way all day. Just present the voucher when you place your meal order and Chili’s will make a donation to LLS. To get a coupon visit Ptosha Davis Leflore for LLS’ 2011 Woman of the Year Facebook page to print vouchers. Then join us at ARJ’s Panache, 4034 W. Good Hope @ 8:00 for comedy.

Proceeds will benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and fund research for blood cancers.
