“The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society is thankful to all of the Glory Days Grill staff, general managers and owners for choosing to work with LLS on their anniversary celebration,” said Gabrielle Urquhart, National Capital Area Chapter Executive Director. “The dollars raised through this partnership will help to fund life-saving research and important patient programs and services. I hope everyone will find time to support Glory Days Grill and LLS on April 16^th and enjoy a delicious meal for a great cause.”

Glory Days Grill has been a pillar in the local community for many years, lending their support to various events, little league teams and charitable endeavors. The company-wide partnership with LLS is the first of its kind, and through the event they hope to raise $10,000 for the organization. In addition to donating 10% of food proceeds, patrons will have the option to make an additional donation to LLS on-site, and those wearing LLS-branded gear will receive a coupon for a free appetizer during a future visit.

“We are pleased to partner with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society on the occasion of our 17 year anniversary,” said Jeff Newman, President at Glory Days Grill. “LLS is a strong local organization that provides much needed services, programs and support to so many people.  One of our company’s core objectives is to provide community outreach in numerous ways and working in concert with LLS fits hand-in-glove with our mission.”
