For the past 15 years, proceeds from the Milwaukee Oyster Roast have helped benefit the Wisconsin Chapter of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Please join us in our 15th annual roast as we combat blood related cancers. We Don't Fight Alone!
Every three minutes one person in the United States (US) is diagnosed with a blood cancer. The mission of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society is to cure Leukemia, Lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and Myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families.
More than 1.3 million Americans are currently living with or in remission from a blood cancer. LLS will continue to support research through its innovative and integrated funding programs, until every patient has a safe and effective therapy.
Research: In 2017, LLS helped fund 83% of the FDA approved blood cancer treatments across the nation. There are no means for preventing or early screening for most blood cancers. That’s why LLS focuses on finding cures and ensuring sustainable access to quality, affordable, coordinated care.
Patient Services: LLS provides a range of services, such as family support groups, an extensive educational website, free seminars and conferences, direct patient financial aid and co-pay assistance. Here in Wisconsin, LLS distributed $1,991,950 to 718 patients to help them cover the cost of cancer treatment as part of our Co-Pay Assistance Program.
Education: LLS serves as the world’s foremost source of information on blood cancers including an extensive collection of free educational materials, professional education and an award-winning website. LLS in Wisconsin hosts an annual blood cancer conference on myeloma, lymphoma, and leukemia.
Advocacy: LLS’s advocacy program has a strong voice in Washington, DC and Madison, WI representing the healthcare and medical research interests of patients and their families to policy makers at all levels of government.
