Buy a ticket or donate:Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Grand Finale Gala

Wes Idol heads for the finish line...

In honor of Logan, who is LLS’ “Boy of the Year,” I have committed to participate as a candidate in The Society’s “Man and Woman of the Year” competition.  The competition consists of candidates from cities across America vying for the title by raising as much money as possible in an intense, 10-week period that begins March 3 and ends May 14 with a Grand Finale Gala in Los Angeles.

To achieve our goal of raising over $100,000, we are reaching out to friends and families across the country asking for their support to help us generate funds and awareness for LLS.  If we reach the $50,000 mark, we can have a research grant named in honor of Logan, something that would bring me great pride.

Approximately 50% of all FDA approved cancer fighting medication on the market came from blood cancer research, which LLS is greatly responsible for.  LLS has raised over $750 million dollars towards the research and development of treatments that have successfully battled diseases such as Leukemia and Lymphoma.  Also, blood cancer research has opened the door to medications designed to treat Alzheimer’s, Breast and Prostate Cancer.

If you would like to find out more about LLS or would like to donate, please visit my website at:
