Stater Bros. Charities Raises $321,225 for Leukemia & Lymphoma Society

Stater Bros. Charities and The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) have completed another successful fundraising campaign to support access to treatments for Southern California blood cancer patients. In June, $1 and $5 paper mobiles were made available for customers and employees to purchase at all 168 Stater Bros. Supermarkets at the time of check out. The funds raised from this year’s campaign will directly support the Patient Travel Assistance Program in Southern California, which helps blood cancer patients who have significant financial need and cannot afford travel expenses to doctor appointments and treatment centers. Over the past eight years, Stater Bros. Charities has raised more than $2.6 million for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. “The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society is extremely grateful to Stater Bros., its employees and customers who are helping to make a difference in the lives of so many patients with blood cancer and their families,” said Mark Roithmayr, Chief Development Officer, LLS. “Stater Bros. is helping to advance lifesaving treatments and patient support services, and it’s all happening now.” “The Stater Bros. Supermarket Family is proud to support the fight against blood cancers by hosting the paper mobile program each year in all our stores,” stated Jack H. Brown, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Stater Bros. Markets. “We are particularly happy that the funds from this year’s campaign will sponsor the Southern California Patient Travel Assistance Program and help many patients in need.” In addition to this campaign, Stater Bros. Charities also partners with LLS at its annual “Light The Night Walk” at the Angel Baseball Stadium in Anaheim, and this year’s event will be on Saturday, Sept. 19. This walk honors those who have been affected by blood cancer, including survivors as well as those who have lost their battle with blood cancer. To learn more, visit www.lightthenight.org.

A residence shows visible damage from flooding, mud and debris following severe winter storms that began Dec. 23, which brought heavy rain and debris flows to mountain and high desert communities across San Bernardino County. This week, the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors approved recovery-related fee waivers to help eligible property owners repair and rebuild as response and long-term recovery efforts continue.

Photo Caption: Crime in San Bernardino has dropped by 30 percent or more throughout the city. One reason is that there are more officers on the streets. The Police Department’s goal is to have 350 sworn officers. Current full-time staffing is reported at 295 sworn officers and 156 professional staff.
