Founders Society
A Major Gifts Campaign of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society

The new millennium presents a special challenge to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.  While much has been accomplished in the fight against leukemia, lymphoma and other blood cancers, much more needs to be done.  Every five minutes someone in the United States learns that he or she has a blood cancer; every ten minutes someone dies.  More than 747,000 American adults and children are now affected by these cancers.

Now is the time to join us on a journey of hope.  The Founders Society was created exclusively for Tennesseans who wish to support our organization's mission.  It is a meaningful way to partner with us as we remain relentless for a cure.  Join at any level now and you will become a member of the Founders Society's "Founding 50", recognized for your pioneering efforts. Please email or call us at (615) 331-2980 or (800) 332-2980 for more information or to request a donor pledge card.
