Our goals: Continue to fund impactful and relevant blood cancer research in order to accelerate the development of new therapies

Offer all patients access to information and services at all points in their cancer journeys
Program History:
LLS has awarded more than $600 million in research funding since the first funding in 1954.
The commitment to cutting-edge science has contributed to an unprecedented rise in survival rates for some blood cancers. The relative five-year survival rate for people with leukemia, for example, nearly quadrupled in the past 48 years. Hodgkin lymphoma is now considered one of the most curable forms of cancer, thanks to radiation, chemotherapy or a combination of the two.
Events:
Pennies for Patients, Olive Garden's Pasta for Pennies-benefiting the Leukemia & Lymphoma
Society and the Trish Greene Back to School Program.
