Leukemia Awareness Events

If you or someone you love has leukemia, you may wish to help in some way. Many organizations and associations sponsor fundraising events to raise money for leukemia research and patients, and to increase public awareness of the disease. Events can be in any form, including sporting tournaments, charity balls or dinners, or auction fundraisers. Participating in an event can help increase your knowledge about leukemia, as well as give you an opportunity to contribute to a worthwhile cause.

Dulcinea's Insight

  • Many of the organizations that host events are also looking for volunteers. Look for a "How You Can Help" or "Volunteer" link if you want to contribute your time to the cause. You can also e-mail the organization directly.
  • If you're curious about the attire or style of an event, look for "Past Events" or "Past Event Photos." Most of these Web sites include photographs or descriptions of events from previous years
  • The Web sites we recommend below represent only a selection of events raising money for leukemia, and they may not take place in your area. You can always contact an organization to see if there's an event in your area, or enter, "Leukemia fundraising in (name of your town)" into a search engine.
