Blood Cancer United

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) is a global nonprofit organization dedicated to curing blood cancers, including leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease, and myeloma. Established in 1949, LLS is the largest voluntary health organization focused on funding blood cancer research and providing support to patients and their families.

LLS invests significantly in innovative research, having allocated nearly $1.3 billion to date. Their research initiatives aim to advance treatments through immunotherapy, genomics, and personalized medicine. The organization also offers free information, education, and support services to patients, survivors, and healthcare professionals, helping them navigate treatment options and access coordinated care. Additionally, LLS advocates for policies that enhance patient access to care and increase federal research funding.

With programs like the Student Visionaries of the Year and the Light The Night campaign, LLS engages communities and volunteers in the fight against blood cancers. Headquartered in Rye Brook, New York, LLS operates through local chapters across the United States, making a significant impact on patients and families nationwide and globally.
