24-Hour Blame-a-Thon to Benefit Livestrong Kicks Off at Midnight ET

September 8th, 2009 admin

If you’re already familiar with the Blame Drew’s Cancer campaign (we’ve covered it here , here and here ), you may now be getting geared up for a full-on 24-hour Blame-a-thon to support the Livestrong charity in the fight against cancer. Essentially, tomorrow on 9/9/09 is a full day fundraiser where you have three ways to participate : buy a ticket for the in-person events in Philadelphia, PA (whether you attend or not, the proceeds from the tickets will go to Livestrong), buy a raffle ticket (it’s electronic so no attendance is required to win), or simply donate directly to the Livestrong foundation in Drew Olanoff’s name. Drew is the New Jersey native who in May was diagnosed with Stage 3 Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.
