“I’m thrilled about this new partnership! It’s a great way for the NRG Family to give back to the larger community and drive a positive message,” said Brett Lautenbach, President of NRG. “This is a first of its kind partnership for us and we’re excited to help The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society get its message out to all of our fans and the community at large.”
The partnership will see NRG and its players raising awareness and driving donations through digital and live activations.

DeGennaro, PhD. “Blood cancers, like leukemia and lymphoma, can strike anyone at any age and are the most commonly diagnosed cancers in children and young adults.
