A Super NOVA is a person with a unique talent or business that makes them stand out in the crowd of Northern Virginia. Sanam Toossi is this week’s Super NOVA for her involvement in The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. This year Toossi was nominated as a candidate for Woman of the Year in the national ten-week campaign to raise funds to help find cures for blood cancers.

“I was nominated by someone who used to work for the LLS. She knew of my charitable work, my involvement with Junior League and the work of my professional volunteer group, The Audrey Bouviers. She felt my various charity involvement would help be successful with the campaign,” said Toossi.
