DUKAL Make a Difference 2010

Written by Suzanne Carlino (Graphics Manager)

         I am proud to say DUKAL had a lot of success last year with our Make a Difference Campaign. We are in full swing for another great year in 2010.  We have chosen some new charities this year and we are looking to be successful again in donating our time and/or making donations.
        Last year when the Make a Difference Campaign was presented to us, I was thrilled.  I knew I wanted to give back and what charities I would like to nominate. My nominations came easily to me because there are moments in your life that can change you forever and that moment happened to me six years ago.  I never thought I would say “I have cancer” and now six years later I am proud to say “I’m a survivor “.  I am so grateful to the people that volunteered their time and money to the Leukemia Lymphoma Society.  Their donations went to supporting research to give people like me a fighting chance.
       Without these people volunteering their time and/or money, my life could have been dramatically different.  Because of them I wanted to and needed to be a part of giving back and I knew any charities DUKAL chose would be a winner.
       I think I can speak for ALL of DUKAL and say that the little time it took to plan all the events doesn’t compare to the joy we felt participating and knowing that just the little time we gave we “Made a Difference” in someone’s life.
