Posted on: Tuesday, 28 March 2006, 18:00 CST

BALTIMORE, March 28 /PRNewswire/ -- BlueHippo Funding, LLC., a Maryland- based merchandise finance company, has helped raise over $11,000 toward the fight against blood cancers as part of a silent auction held by The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Maryland last night (March 27, 2006). To benefit the Society, BlueHippo Funding donated a brand new laptop computer to the auction which was held in Jacksonville, MD.

"Leukemia, lymphoma and other blood cancers affect thousands of our friends and neighbors each year," said Joseph Rensin, Chairman and CEO of BlueHippo Funding. "The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Maryland is one of the most active chapters in the country and we are proud to support their efforts to raise awareness and the funds necessary to defeat this terrible disease."

During the auction, the computer system donated by BlueHippo Funding sold for $890. One hundred percent of the proceeds from the auction will benefit The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

"We want to thank Joe Rensin and BlueHippo for their support of today's auction, but more importantly the citizens of our community," said Jerry Wetzel, an organizer of the silent auction. "Every dollar raised moves us closer to our common goal of finding a cure for these diseases. The generosity of companies like BlueHippo is a critical part of this effort."
