We are pleased to formally announce that Brian Lipstein, President of Henry A. Davidsen, Master Tailors & Image Consultants, has been nominated as a candidate for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Man & Woman of the Year campaign. Brian, an entrepreneur and influencer in the Philadelphia area has joined other community leaders in a competition to raise the most money within a 10 week time period, beginning on April 1st.

 

"I am honored to be part of such a worthwhile cause. The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society is a crucial resource to thousands of blood cancer patients and I can’t wait to help make a difference. My Aunt passed away from Leukemia, so this hits incredibly close to home. I look forward to my friends, family, company and community joining me in this fight against blood cancers." says Lipstein.
