We need your help in the fight against blood cancers! By participating in The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) School & Youth programs, our school is working with LLS to help blood cancer patients live their best life today.
Donations received through the School & Youth Programs fund the treatments that get to patients more quickly. For just one example of how the research being funded by LLS is saving lives, check out Fire with Fire, the Emma Whitehead Story. Without support from LLS, this amazing breakthrough would not have been possible.

Cures today. Not someday. That's the LLS goal. And together with the 14 million students who participate in the School & Youth Programs, we plan to make an impact!
