The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) is committed to
curing leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma, and helping patients and
their families. The support you provide is invested wisely.
In fiscal year 2008 $71.4 million was invested, including funding for
129 new grants to researchers in academic institutions and $4 million in
contracts through the LLS Therapy Acceleration Program. As of June 2008,
LLS was supporting 388 research projects and 9 research contracts in the
U.S., Canada, and 14 other countries. LLS also provides financial
assistance to patients; sponsors scientific conferences around the country;
produces educational materials and videos; and runs dozens of Family
Support Groups nationwide. Because we receive no federal funding, we depend
on you for continued support of these needed programs.
