What Your Donation Will Accomplish

The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, with a mission to help to cure blood cancers, uses funds in three major service areas: donations to research to find cures and better therapies, patient services, and advocacy for cancer patients and their families. If you are considering a donation, you might want to know what your generosity will accomplish:

• A donation of $25 provides patients and their loved ones with FREE booklets that contain up-to-date information on their disease and help them make informed decisions about their treatment options.
• A donation of $50 makes possible a Family Support group with a trained facilitator where comfort can be found and experiences can be shared among patients and family members.
• A donation of $100 helps supply laboratory researchers with supplies and materials critical to carrying out their search for cures.
• A donation of $150 provides 10 patients with access to a web-conference specific to their disease to learn more about the disease and developing treatments.
• A donation of $300 will train 25 peer volunteers who can provide emotional support to newly diagnosed patients.
• A donation of $400 provides 40 teachers with an educational Pediatric Manual to assist with a child’s return to school after cancer treatment.
• A donation of $500 could provide patient aid to a person with a blood cancer for an ENTIRE YEAR.
