ach year in communities all across the United States and Canada, teams of families, friends, co-workers and local and national corporations come together to raise funds for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS’s) Light The Night Walk events and bring help and hope to people battling blood cancers.
With a collaborative effort between PACE, The GEO Group Foundation, and Corporate and Regional office employees, GEO raised more than $16,000 for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s “Light the Night Walk”. Over thirty GEO employees across the United States invited their families and friends to walk for the cause, and hundreds of others contributed financially. John J. Bulfin, Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary of the GEO Group also serves as a Board of Trustee member of the Palm Beach Area Chapter of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Mr. Bulfin said, “It is satisfying to know that we are a part of a company that believes in supporting the greater good and donates time, effort and money to charities such as the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s Light the Night Walk.” PACE organized two successful fundraising events along with selling candy bars to raise money prior to the walk. They hosted a breakfast at GEO’s Corporate office which was an all you-can-eat breakfast for five dollars. PACE also organized a bowling night which was a huge success in raising money for the cause. On January 31, 2012, The GEO Group was recognized by Leukemia & Lymphoma Society with an award for its charitable and fundraising efforts.
