“We are hoping to find people who are willing to host a car wash at their house on any available day this summer. If you are able to do so, you can choose a day (generally Saturdays and Sundays work best). You will need to provide car wash supplies. We will send you a copy of a flyer that you could hand out to family, friends, and neighbors. The cost for car washes will be donations only. The event is more fun when a lot of people help out at each car wash.

Feel free to get creative with other possible ways to raise money. For example, you may have younger siblings, cousins, or neighbors who could have a lemonade stand for donations. We greatly appreciate anyone who is willing to help out and raise money for a great cause. Please pass this on to anyone that you think would be interested in participating”.

Any questions can be directed to info@jsm.org.

Listen to the classic “Car Wash” song…

 …and get excited for the JSM CAR WASH ON SUNDAY JULY 12TH!

This fundraising effort is led by my brother and sister, Carli and Evan Kander, two  undergraduate college students.  This will be a neighborhood effort with other students, family and friends hosting car washes at various locations in the North Suburbs over the course of Summer 2009.  More locations to be announced shortly!

We hope you can make it this Sunday and to our other car wash locations this summer.  The car wash is FREE with donations appreciated !  Thank you for your continued support and we strive to eradicate Leukemia!

If you are interested in hosting a car wash at your home, please send a message to Carli Kander at chkander@gmail.com.  More information about this event can be found on the public Facebook page.

We hope to see you on Sunday July 12th to get your car washed and raise money for this great cause!!

‘Spare’ us your excuse, Come ‘Strike-out Leukemia’

Mt. Prospect, IL – Sunday, July 19th will not be another lazy summer Sunday for the members of the Jessica Shayne Magid Chapter of the Leukemia Research Foundation. That day over 100 volunteers will be hosting their fifth annual fund raising event to benefit Leukemia Research.

Bring your whole family out to this year’s event, a Bowl-a-rama, to be held at the Brunswick Lanes in Mt. Prospect on Sunday July 19th. Participants will have three different ‘flights’ to choose from: 2 family friendly flights that start at 2:30pm and 4:45pm or the Pro Flight starting at 3:00pm for the more serious kingpin. Bowling packages start at just $15 and include food and beverage and all the bowling essentials. Other festivities that day will include a carnival with games and prizes for the kids and a silent auction for the adults.

A 100% volunteer group, the chapter over the last four years major fund raising event was an annual golf event held in Wheeling. In addition to the golf outing that day, they coordinated car washes and silent and live auctions. All their hard work in the past has paid off as they have raised over $100,000 to cure Leukemia!

The organizers were very concerned about the economy and their ability to continue to help fight leukemia. They have completely revamped their major event to be both more family and economy friendly.

With summer having officially started, all should mark their calendars for July 19th for a fun action packed day. The best part about it is your family is sure to have a great time at a reasonable price all while helping to find a cure for Leukemia.
