Round it Up for Lymphoma - Glenview Family Video and Marcos Pizza

Family Video & Hoogland Foods (dba Marco’s Pizza) Announce Round It Up for Lymphoma Campaign

Glenview, IL - March 2015 - Family Video, the nation’s largest movie and game rental chain & Hoogland Foods, the largest franchisee of Marco’s Pizza, are taking a leading role in the fight against Lymphoma. For the fourth consecutive year, Family Video & Marco’s Pizza customers are invited to Round It Up for Lymphoma in locations between March 13th and March 29th. In the past three years, 100% of the 3.4 million dollars collected has been donated towards lymphoma research programs. By simply rounding up transactions to the nearest dollar, Family Video and Marco’s Pizza customers will be supporting general lymphoma research programs and patient education at the Lymphoma Research Foundation, and the lymphoma biobank at the University of Chicago Medicine Comprehensive Cancer Center, which was established with the help of donations from this program.
“Lymphoma is a disease that has touched the lives of many of our employees and their loved ones. With continued support of this biobank and the Lymphoma Research Foundation’s mission, we will be able to better understand why lymphoma develops, and study how different environmental factors impact prognosis and treatment, and provide educational services to those affected by this disease. Ultimately, the lymphoma biobank and LRF will help us make significant progress towards finding a cure,” said Keith Hoogland, Family Video President. “Our customers have shown their generosity about this cause in the past, and we are excited for our company to be able to play this role in the fight against lymphoma.”

Advancements in research and treatment have been made possible by the efforts of dedicated customers and employees of Family Video and Marco’s Pizza. Local grassroots events and activities at Family Video and Marco’s Pizza build support for the campaign in the communities they serve.

Lymphoma is the most common type of blood cancer in adults, and the third most common in children. More than half a million Americans are living with the disease in some form, and 220 more are diagnosed each day. To participate, donate at
