Gents:
I wanted to share with you all a fantastic opportunity to bid on a bespoke Steed sport coat to support the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society! I know many of you already know of Edwin and Matthew at Steed Tailors (now also at Savile Row Golf) and their fantastic work featured on the WAYWRN and Anderson & Sheppard Expatriates threads, but I cannot thank them enough for taking their time and resources to make this happen as well. Of course, I also have to thank them for the wonderful pieces (can’t wait to see you guys again in June to discuss the overcoat)! Also, I want to thank Fok here at Styleforum for allowing me to present this opportunity to everyone here.

Just some background…
I represent Society Ties, which is the young professionals group under the New York City chapter of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Our mission is to raise funds and awareness for the LLS mission to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease, myeloma, and improve the quality of life for patients and their families. For those interested and in NYC, we host an annual black tie casino night every February!
I became involved with Society Ties and the LLS shortly after I donated bone marrow for a 10 year old boy with leukemia in April 2013. After chemotherapy, a stem cell transplant, and a bone marrow transplant, I am happy to report he is now 13 years old and is in remission! He is now like a little brother to me! I felt like the privilege I had to donate has given so much good karma that I will never stop being an advocate for my recipient, and all of those out there who are battling blood cancers or have loved ones who are fighting for their lives.
For additional information on Society Ties and the LLS, or if you would like to make a donation, please see the following link:

Thank you for taking a look, and good luck with your bids!
Best,
Stan
