For over 65 years, thousands of volunteers have helped the Foundation
raise more than $50 million in support of this mission. Major LRF
programs include:
Worldwide medical research - each year, it is the Foundation’s goal to
grant in excess of $1 million to medical research.
Patient financial assistance - the financial assistance and support
programs of the LRF are available to patients and families who reside
primarily within a 100-mile radius of Chicago and the state of Illinois. On
average, we provide over $250,000 per year in financial assistance.
Educational support services - for patients, family members,
caregivers and medical professionals. These conferences, including the
Treatment Options for Blood Cancer Patients Conference, the Town Hall
Meeting, and Town Hall Meeting in Spanish, are offered free of charge.
They provide opportunities for direct dialogue between patients and
prominent hematology/oncology and transplant specialists to discuss
treatment options and procedures.
