Burlington Coat Factory
Burlington Coat Factory continues to set the standard for the Light The Night National Partner program. Since 2002, Burlington has partnered with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) and has been recognized as our #1 National Partner of Light The Night since 2003. Over the past nine years, Burlington has raised close to $10 million for the LLS mission: Cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families. And in 2010, Burlington surpassed its $2.2 million fundraising goal and raised close to $2.6 million for the effort. In addition, close to 1,000 of its store and corporate associates participated in Light The Night walks across the country.
To complement their significant financial impact on our mission, Burlington has also provided an invaluable level of awareness of our patient services and research efforts.
BCF is a shining example of corporate engagement from their executive leadership and store associates to their amazingly generous customers. The results speak for themselves - BCF is our most successful National Partner, achieving fantastic milestones each and every year.
