The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of the Lehigh Valley has awarded Capital Blue Cross with the society’s Board of Trustees Chairman’s Award for Capital’s support over the past 11 years.

Each year, the trustees recognize an individual, group or corporation for a steadfast commitment to, and impact on, the organization, which it said in a release “far surpasses the scope of what is typical to elevate the success of an event, initiative, or campaign.”

Capital’s support began when LLS asked it to launch a new Lehigh Valley campaign in 2010.

“Capital Blue Cross is honored to be recognized by the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. We are pleased to support the excellent work it does in research and support for those battling blood cancer. It truly makes a difference and that’s why we have been committed to supporting its efforts,” said Anne Baum, Capital Blue Cross Lehigh Valley president in accepting the award.
