Pasta, Multiple Myeloma and Eight Million Dollars

Get New Treatments Alerts:

Olive Garden’s Pennies for Pasta fundraising campaign recently scoped up over 8 million donated dollars to support the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (which includes support for Multiple Myeloma). In just three short weeks, grades 1 – 12 from participating schools from all over the US put spare change into jars that sat inside of their classrooms. Classrooms who raised the most money were awarded with a pasta lunch from The Olive Garden.

Top schools raised over 20,000 dollars!

Collectively, participating schools in South Central Texas raised nearly a million dollars!

John Walter, President and CEO of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society said:

“We are grateful for the outpouring of generosity that made this year’s Olive Garden Pasta for Pennies campaign a record-breaking success. It’s through the hard work of our student participants and partners like Olive Garden that we can collect the funds we need to work toward a cure to end blood cancers.” ^[1]

This is an incredible victory. 8 million in spare change to support cancer research and a potential pasta lunch as motivation illuminates the immense generosity that is deep within the heart of this country. If you think your school might be interested in participating in Pennies for Pasta, here is the information:

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society is presently under investigation for financial fraud. The old bait and switch.
They raise money for non existent drugs developed by phony venture capital companies.

“Victims Against Liars” I believe a LLS front person who refuses to use their real name ( I will take legal action against this fraudster asap once I know who it is). But just like LLS hiding behind lies and avoiding Court.

“Lots of good work”. I don’t think so…more stealing everyday from patients and their families.

The only “fraudster” around is Kris Sergentakis. He talks about taking action against me…ha! No one is stealing from patients and their families. Kris, on the other hand, is committing libel and harassment and threatening others. Convicted felons seldom change their spots…

Kris Sergentakis admitted that he has been lying about what he did at LLS…wonder what else he’s been lying about…
