Do you require fundraising?

We do encourage all participants to fundraise. Just imagine the impact – if every participant raises only $100, we could bring in an additional $100,000 to leukemia research and patient and family support programs!

Are patients, survivors, and those living with leukemia expected to fundraise?

We encourage every participant to fundraise and have an opportunity to earn fundraising recognition items for their efforts! We find that survivors, those living with leukemia, and others that have a deeply personal connection to the cause are the most powerful and passionate fundraisers.
