Joe Sanfillipo III, Chief Operating Officer Say’s “We not only wanted to inspire our clients to donate to our walk team but also reward them for their generosity during this difficult economy”
This is USA Collision Centers 7th year of participating in the Leukemia Society’s “Light the Night Walk”. Last year USA Collision Centers was in the top 10 of funds raised for all corporate teams at the Cincinnati walk. USA Collision Centers became actively involved with the Light the Night Walk and the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society after one of their own was diagnosed with Leukemia (AML) in 2003. Annmarie Sanfillipo (nee Ridenour (native of Kettering Ohio)) was office manager for USA Collision Centers since 1999 after she graduated from The University of Cincinnati (BA). She is the late wife of Joe Sanfillipo III (Chief Operating Officer and co-owner of USA Collision Centers) On July 9th 2009 Annmarie (32 years old) lost her six year battle with Leukemia. Over the course of those six years Annmarie had two transplants at the Cleveland Clinic (Bone Marrow 2004 / Stem Cell 2005). Joe Sanfillipo III, said “Although we have been very active with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society for a number of years now, Annmarie’s passing has inspired all of us to work harder to do all we can to raise funds to help find a cure for blood cancers.” Sanfillipo and fellow USA Collision Center staff member Eddie Taylor (Fairfield, Mgr) have been very active with the Leukemia Society. In 2006 Joe Sanfillipo III, was nominated for Leukemia Society’s Man of the year. In 2008 Eddie Taylor was also nominated for Leukemia Society’s Man of the Year.
