The Mission is Critical
The mission of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society: Cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s
disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families.
The Facts
 Every three minutes someone is diagnosed with a blood cancer.
 Every 10 minutes someone dies.
 Leukemia causes almost one-third of all cancer deaths in children and adolescents younger than
15 years.
 An estimated 1,067,187 people in the US are living with, or are in remission from leukemia,
lymphoma, or myeloma.
How Your Dollars Are Used
Research: To date, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) has invested more than $1 billion in research
aimed at helping all blood cancer patients live longer, healthier lives. We will continue to support research
through our innovative and integrated funding programs, until every patient has a safe and effective
therapy.
Patient Services: LLS provides a range of services, such as family support groups, an extensive educational
website, free seminars and conferences, direct patient financial aid and co-pay assistance.
Education: LLS serves as the world’s foremost source of information on blood cancers including an
Information Resource Center, (800) 955-4572, an extensive collection of free educational materials,
professional education and an award-winning website.
Advocacy: LLS’s advocacy program has a strong voice in Washington, DC representing the healthcare and
medical research interests of patients and their families to policy makers at all levels of government.
Campaign At-a-Glance
What
Each year, in communities across the country, dynamic, passionate candidates engage in a spirited
competition to earn The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s “Man & Woman of the Year” titles, by raising
funds for blood cancer research. The candidates compete in honor of children who are local blood cancer
survivors, the Boy & Girl of the Year. Every dollar raised counts as one vote, and the titles are awarded to
the man and woman with the most votes at the end of ten weeks; the top local fundraisers in the country
win the national titles. The ten weeks begin with a Kickoff Party and culminates with a Grand Finale
celebration. Nationally in 2014, LLS’s Man & Woman of the Year campaign raise $30.8 million for research
and patient services and our goal in 2015 is even more aggressive.
Who
Candidates for Man & Woman of the Year are extraordinary people. They are individuals from both the
social and business communities who are relentless in their efforts to find cures for blood cancers, and are
well-connected in their communities. The campaign generates awareness both locally and nationally
through press releases, exposure in print advertisements, and public transit advertising in some markets.
Grand Finale Celebration
Sponsors, candidates, campaign teams, friends, family, survivors and other LLS supporters will gather for
the announcement of the Man & Woman of the Year. The evening will include cocktails, food, music and a
silent auction. In 2014, more than 300 people in Wisconsin attended the Grand Finale celebration to honor
the candidates who comprised the class of 2014. In 2015, the Milwaukee Grand Finale will take place on
May 16, 2015 at the historical Pfister Hotel, Milwaukee and the Madison Grand Finale will take place on
May 29, 2015 at the Madison Concourse Hotel.
