Round-It-Up for lymphoma research

More than 750,000 Americans have lymphoma — the most common form of blood cancer in adults– and about 220 additional cases are diagnosed every day.

In order to help fund lymphoma research, Family Video in Warren is encouraging customers to Round-It-Up between Friday, March 10, and Sunday, March 26.

“We ask customers if they’ll round up their ticket,” Debbie Brown said.

All of the proceeds from rounding up to the nearest dollar, as well as any other donations, will go to Lymphoma Biobank and Lymphoma Research Center (LRC).

Brown said the nationwide Family Video effort has raised $5.4 million for lymphoma research since 2011.

At the Warren store, “last year we raised over $1,200,” she said. “We’re very pleased with that total. It shows how generous our community is.”

Family Video will feature promotions and themes, including a bake sale and a carnival theme, through the three weekends of the program, Brown said.
