About Blood Cancer United
We believe everyone with blood cancer deserves a longer, better life. Our mission is to cure blood cancer and improve the quality of life for patients and their families by funding life‑saving research worldwide, providing free information and support services, and advocating for affordable, coordinated care. To date we have invested more than $2 billion in groundbreaking research supporting many of today’s most innovative treatment approaches.
About Light The Night
Light The Night gathers communities to celebrate, honor, and remember those touched by cancer. Friends, families, schools, corporate teams, and sponsors join together to bring light to the darkness of cancer. Funds raised support lifesaving research, advocacy, and patient/family support.
