This event is honoring Blood Cancer and our Honored Hero's that are battling Blood Cancer. ALL PROCEEDS GOES TO The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. The mission is clear: to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease, and myeloma, while simultaneously enhancing the quality of life for patients and their families through education, research, and advocacy.
Every three minutes someone is diagnosed with a blood cancer.
Every nine minutes someone loses a battle with a blood cancer.
An estimated 32,096 children in the U.S. are living with or in remission from blood cancer.
Leukemia is the second leading cause of cancer death of children and young adults under the age of twenty.
Nearly 1.2 million Americans are living with, or in remission from a blood cancer.
How Your Dollars Are Used: To date, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) has invested over $1.7 billion to advance cancer therapies and save lives. We will continue to support research through our innovative and integrated funding programs, until every patient has a safe and effective therapy. Currently, LLS has created a bold and urgent $175 million capital campaign to transform the treatment and care for children. They are daring to prioritize cutting-edge research, including the first ever pediatric acute leukemia Master Clinical Trial. LLS is daring to improve the quality of life for every child with blood cancer!
