Please consider this time-sensitive opportunity to double the value of your donation and help the Society find cures for blood cancers. We recently received a generous challenge grant from a local Bay Area family foundation. The foundation will match any new gift, dollar for dollar, up to $250,000 this year and $250,000 next year. The grant will help researchers at Stanford University develop a novel vaccine therapy that targets blood cancer cells without harming healthy cells. This new technology could impact the way many other cancers are treated as well. In fact, Society-funded researchers have helped pioneer some of the most significant advances in treating blood cancers including chemotherapy, radiation therapy and bone marrow and stem cell transplantation. Again, the deadline to raise the first $250,000 is Dec. 31, 2007. Any new gift you make before Dec. 31 is tax deductible in this calendar year and will be doubled! |
