Burlington Stores' 20th Consecutive In-Store Fundraising Campaign Raises

Nearly $3.4 Million for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society

Funds will provide lifesaving treatments and support The LLS Children's Initiative research pillar

dedicated to pediatric cancer care innovation

RYE BROOK, NY, January 19, 2022 - For the 20th consecutive year, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS), the global leader in the fight against blood cancer, and Burlington Stores, the national retailer delivering amazing deals to customers every time they shop, partnered to raise critical funds for lifesaving research and treatments for children with blood cancer. This year's campaign raised nearly $3.4 million for the research pillar of The LLS Children's Initiative, which seeks to break down the barriers that stand in the way of pediatric cancer care innovation.

From October 18th through November 29th, Burlington customers were encouraged to round up their purchases at checkout in the more than 830 stores nationwide to help improve the lives of children with blood cancer. Over the course of the 20-year partnership, Burlington's annual in- store fundraising campaigns have raised over $50 million for LLS.

"We're incredibly grateful to Burlington and their customers for the continued support over the last two decades," said Louis J. DeGennaro, PhD, President and CEO, LLS. "The funds raised this past fall will bolster The LLS Children's Initiative efforts, helping us drive forward critical research that will make a tangible difference in the lives of children and their families impacted by blood cancer."

The LLS Children's Initiative is dedicated to revolutionizing the standard of care for children with cancer, providing them with safer, more effective treatments that rely less on chemotherapies that harm healthy cells in the body. Through research, patient education and support, as well as policy and advocacy, LLS is striving to usher in a new era of pediatric cancer treatment and care.

"I couldn't be prouder of Burlington's millions of customers and thousands of associates for their continued commitment to supporting LLS's mission and their Children's Initiative," said Michael O'Sullivan, CEO, Burlington Stores. "The funds raised in our stores will certainly make a significant impact in the pursuit of a world without blood cancer."
