Community leaders raise funds for Leukemia & Lymphoma Society
SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) — WSAV News 3's Ben Senger and Kaley Fedko were the hosts for the 2025 Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's 'Visionaries of the Year' awards ceremony Saturday.
The 10-week campaign came to a close by honoring the candidates whose actions directly impact the lives of patients around the world.
Candidates for Visionaries of the Year were Anna Young, Amanda Cutrer, Bridget McCarthy, Greg Finch, Katie Tashjian, Pritpal Singh and Sarah Araneda.
The total amount raised during the 2025 Visionaries of the Year campaign was $481,158. Bridget McCarthy with Team Emily's Encore raised $143,182. Every team worked hard for weeks to raise funds needed to help the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's succeed in putting an end to blood cancer.
Tom DeTulleo, Savannah's Campaign Development Director with LLS said, 'We raised over $100K at the Gala, including a frantic and awe-inspiring $74K during Fund the Fight!! The celebrations were electric and there was never a moment — not one — where the mission wasn't front and center. I love what we do, why we do it, who we do it for, and who we do it with. It was a special campaign, an extraordinary evening, and an experience I'll never forget.'
