The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s mission is to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families. In 1964, Leukemia’s survival rate was 3%. Today, the survival rate is 95%. This significant increase over the past 54 years is partially due to the amazing fundraising efforts that many of the participants have contributed throughout the years.
LLS has showed that when fundraising for a specific cause it is important to focus on more than just asking for money. In order to increase your chances at a successful fundraising campaign you need to focus on the organization progress and telling local stories about it. By enhancing these elements potential donors will be able to see and understand how meaningful the cause is.
Vincent Van Gogh stated, “Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.”
The progress of LLS is the result of our awesome participants taking small steps to achieve very ambitious goals that improve the lives of cancer patients through funding treatments and services.
To learn more tips and tricks on how you can help cancer patients get the resources they deserve and the best benefits for your campaign attend our fundraising clinic Thursday, May 3rd at North Star Sail Club at 6:00pm!
