2015 Sponsorship Opportunities The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Indiana Chapter 9075 N. Meridian St., Suite 150 Indianapolis, IN 46260 Elissa Evernham, Campaign Director 317-860-3845| [email protected] www.mwoy.org/Indy Why Support LLS? We are living in an extraordinary moment. The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) is at the threshold of cures for more patients. Once unimaginable, safe and effective treatments are saving lives, today. LLS is focused on cures. While other large cancer organizations target their mission investment on prevention and early detection, LLS invests in cures because most blood cancers cannot be prevented or detected early. During the last 60+ years LLS has invested more than $1 billion dollars to develop blood cancer therapies. Research funded by LLS has led to advances in treatments such as chemotherapy, bone marrow and stem cell transplantation. Research is the cancer answer. LLS has a remarkable record of supporting investigations that lead to improved diagnostics and more effective therapies. Between 2000 and 2013, 31 of 81 cancer drugs newly approved by the FDA were developed first for blood cancer patients. Many are already helping patients with other cancers and serious non-malignant diseases. Today, LLS funds more blood cancer research than any other voluntary health agency in the US or Canada. Blood cancers are the #3 cancer killer in North America. Only cancers of the respiratory and digestive systems, including lung and colon cancers, are more deadly. Leukemia causes more deaths than any other cancer among children and young adults under the age of 20. One person is diagnosed with blood cancer every three minutes. Every ten minutes, another person loses the fight. More than 1.6 million people in the United States are living with or are in remission from a blood cancer.

Candidates are judged solely on a philanthropic basis. The man and woman candidate who raises the most funds during the 10-week campaign are awarded the title of Man & Woman of the Year. The candidates run in honor of patient survivors, the Boy & Girl of the Year. Fundraising culminates the night of the Grand Finale Gala, at which point the winners are determined. The Gala includes a silent and live auction, dinner and dessert, and an inspiring program where all candidates are recognized.
