The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) School & YouthSM Programs are value-building, community service programs designed for young people. Students learn not only about blood cancers, but about teamwork, school spirit, need to focus on others, and to enhance self-esteem through community service. They will also discover that they can make a difference as an important part of their community.

Last year, 21,000 schools across the country participated in the School & Youth Programs, Pennies for Patients and Olive Garden’s Pasta for Pennies, collecting spare change to fund lifesaving cancer research and to provide services for patients and their families.

You can help your favorite school reach their fundraising goal by making an easy and secure online donation in support of their program:

In addition, please consider sharing this page with your friends and family members so they, too, can make a contribution to our cause!

Why should you support The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s School & Youth Programs? Because leukemia causes more deaths than any other cancer among children and young adults under the age of 20.

LLS is the world’s largest voluntary health organization dedicated to funding blood cancer research and providing education and patient services. Our mission is to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma, and to improve the quality of life of patients and their families.
