 | The Man & Woman of the Year campaign is a fundraising competition among community leaders who vie for the honor of being the Man or Woman of the Year. Candidates are nominated by their peers and are judged solely on a philanthropic basis. The 2009 Man & Woman of the Year will be named based on their success in generating funds for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society during a ten week campaign which will begin at the Kick-off Party and will culminate at the Grand Finale Celebration on May 16, 2009. The candidates raise money in honor of local blood cancer survivors, Darya Oreizi and Nasim Rad, our Boy and Girl of the Year. Become a Champion of Hope. Support a candidate by making a donation today. |
