On Thursday, November 3, OI team members were honored to walk with fellow supporters of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of North Florida. The walk marked the end of an agency-wide fundraiser in which OI raised just shy of $4,000 for blood cancer research, treatments and support – and we had fun doing it! The bulk of the funds were raised by raffling off a free vacation day and accepting donations for drinks and snacks for our weekly Happy Hours.
On the night of the walk, each team member received an illuminated red balloon as a symbol of our support for OI CEO, Tom Bolling, a Hodgkins Lymphoma survivor. It was humbling to see hundreds of other Jacksonville community members walking with red, gold and white balloons in support or in memory of a loved one. Thanks to everyone who walked and contributed to this great cause. It was a truly inspirational evening and we can’t wait to set our fundraising sights even higher next year!
