Chapter Affiliates

Parents Against Leukemia (PAL) was founded in 1974 by a small group of parents who had each lost a child to leukemia.  Today, this growing organization includes and is supported by parents, cancer survivors, friends, and anyone who embodies compassion for those children suffering from this devastating disease.  New members are always welcome!  We are a proud affiliate of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

Each year, PAL donates one-hundred percent (100%) of the net proceeds raised by PAL events to support a Society-sponsored research grant at UCLA.  To date, PAL has raised over $1,000,000 toward this research!
