Tickets.com's Dan Wu Wins Man of the Year

Dan Wu, CFO here at Tickets.com, has been very involved with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) since his wife Anita passed away in February, 2010, from complications due to Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia. Tickets.com joined Dan in supporting LLS last summer leading up to the annual LLS Light the Night Walk in September, where the employees raised over $20,000 based solely on individual contributions. Tickets.com was one of the top fundraising teams and won "Rookie of the Year" for the 2010 Light the Night event.

Dan was nominated to participate in the 2011 Man of the Year campaign. The funds raised from this campaign will help fund research for the LLS and improve the quality of life for patients and their families. Dan’s goal was to raise $50,000 in order to have the opportunity to name an LLS research project in Anita’s memory. Dan received over 350 contributions, including donations from Tickets.com and many of its employees. Dan is very grateful to everyone who donated to this cause.

We are thrilled to announce that Dan was selected the 2011 Man of the Year for the Orange County/Inland Empire LLS Chapter after raising a total of $78,452, well in excess of his $50,000 goal.

Tickets.com congratulates Dan on this remarkable achievement and reaching his personal goal to honor his wife.
