SAVANNAH, Ga. – Enmarket has made a commitment to once again sell paper icons in all 64 of its retail stores in Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina in support of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Light The Night Walk, which will take place on October 14. The paper icons will be sold from April 27 to May 31. The company has set an aggressive goal to raise $100,000 in support of LLS’s mission to cure blood cancer and help patients and their families.
In addition to the paper icons sales, enmarket will hold Full-Service Fridays at five locations. A Full-Service Friday allows customers to pull into the store, where members of the enmarket management team will be pumping gas, wiping windows and handing out coupons in hopes of collecting donations.
“The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society is an organization that is very dear to me,” said Houstoun Demere, vice president and general manager of enmarket, in a press release. “I lost my mother to leukemia when I was six and my sister was eight. It is in her memory and in support of all of those currently fighting leukemia and lymphoma that enmarket is proud to support LLS’ Light The Night Walk.”

Funds raised from the CMN Hospitals partnership with Sunoco will stay in the local communities. These donations help make miracles happen by funding vital medical care, equipment and therapy programs that save and improve the lives of more than 10 million sick and injured children a year.
