Funds raised through the Light The Night Schools Campaign allow LLS to fund treatments for patients who are suffering from all forms of blood cancers. LLS has helped fund over 70% of FDA-approved blood cancer treatments since 2016. Help defeat the darkness of cancer. Please donate today to continue to help patients and their families across the country!
