Record-Breaking Results + Inspirational Advocacy = One Incredible Climb! We’re proud to say that the creativity and ingenuity of our employees is never in short supply at Lendmark, especially when it comes to the communities we serve. In the final month of our “$10 Million in 10 Years” Climb to Cure Campaign, our amazing branch colleagues introduced a striking new accessory: ‘Ask Me Why I Climb’ buttons! This creative idea, led by our Climb Chair E.J. Ryan, gave employees a bold way to show their support for CURE Childhood Cancer and spark meaningful conversations with customers. These buttons turned everyday interactions into opportunities for advocacy — and the results speak for themselves. Thanks to the generosity of our customers and the dedication and innovation of our branch teams, we raised nearly $59,000 through $1 customer donations in 2025 alone — a record high for the campaign! Every single dollar raised goes directly toward precision medicine research to help find a cure for childhood cancers. Huge congratulations to every colleague and customer who contributed to this success. Your passion, creativity and commitment continue to make a real difference.
