Jacob Tyler’s Les Kollegian seeks to raise $50,000 in eight weeks for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society

– Company’s CEO launches www.onemillionsupporters.org to generate funds one dollar at a time –

SAN DIEGO – March 19, 2014 – Les Kollegian, CEO at Jacob Tyler, an award-winning, full-service, brand communications agency, is out to raise $50,000 in eight weeks for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) through his site, www.onemillionsupporters.org. A two-time cancer survivor, and having lost friends and relatives to the disease, he is doing this as a candidate for the organization’s Man of the Year for the San Diego/Hawaii chapter.

“Raising this amount of money may be a lofty goal, but this is how I am choosing to see if I can make a difference in people’s lives as well as live up to the challenge of being ‘Man of the Year’ in 2014 for LLS,” said Kollegian. “I was extremely moved when watching the Emma’s Story video (viewable on the site) and hearing Dr. June’s quote ‘…Why it’s hard to say we want to cure cancer? We do. I think sometimes it’s hard actually to think that you might actually succeed…’ and how the research has helped cure Emma of Leukemia.

The OneMillionSupporters.org Website is unique in that it allows the donors to post a picture of themselves as a supporter, or a picture of a friend or relative to honor, to help find a cure for all blood-related cancers for as little as $1. Typically, such campaigns attempt to grab high dollar amounts. Kollegian believes the better course is to generate funds from everyday people, with the full understanding that every dollar makes a difference. He is leveraging his brand expertise and extensive network to generate interest, and has already amassed a thousand dollars within the first week on the site and more on his Man of the Year donation page.

“I continue to be amazed by how many people have been affected by cancer, be it themselves or a loved one. I’m looking forward to doing my part in helping to eradicate these diseases.,” said Kollegian.

More information on the campaign is available at www.onemillionsupporters.org. For those who may be interested in making a donation without posting a photo, please go to http://www.mwoy.org/pages/sd/sd14/les.
