What is the mission of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada?

 

The Mission of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada (LLSC) is to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkins disease, and myeloma and improve the quality of life for patients and their families.

 

 

 

If I choose to fundraise with Team In Training, where does the money go?

 

The LLSC provides funding for research, patient services, community outreach, education, and advocacy initiatives.  Team In Training is the largest fundraising campaign for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

 

 

 

How much money do I need to fundraise?

 

The fundraising target for a Team In Training event is always designed to ensure that at least 75% of funds raised will go toward the mission of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada.

 

Fundraising targets vary based on the overhead costs involved in the event.  These typically include travel, hotel accommodation, meals and parties, gear and clothing, and coaching/training.  If you?d like to know a fundraising target for a particular event, please contact us, and we will be happy to let you know!
