SAINT JAMES, N.Y., March 1, 2018 – Twelve Allstate agency owners, financial specialists, and licensed sales professionals from St. James recently came together to secure $12,000 Allstate Foundation Helping Hands® grant to benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. The grant will support The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s mission to cure and care for patients who have leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma.

The agency owners, financial specialists, and licensed sales professionals earned $1,000 each for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society by hosting a raffle and auction event for the families affected by this disease. The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society will use the $12,000 grant to further its work.
