The greater Los Angeles chapter of The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society will honor their 2012 Man and Woman of the Year on Saturday, April 28 with a gala at the Ritz-Carlton in Marina del Rey.
Proceeds from the Man & Woman of the Year campaign fund leading-edge research to cure blood cancers such as leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma, support advocacy efforts that draw government attention to cancer-related issues and improve the quality of life of patients and their families.
– Every four minutes someone is diagnosed with a blood cancer.
– Every 10 minutes someone dies.
– Leukemia is the leading cause of cancer death of children and young adults under the age of 20.

The Man & Woman of the Year campaign is a fundraising competition among individuals in the community who, through their participation, vie for the honor of being named Man or Woman of the Year. Candidates are judged solely on a philanthropic basis. The individual man and woman who each raises the most funds during the 10-week campaign period will be awarded the title at the Grand Finale Gala. Each candidate’s participation is inspired by two patient survivors, the Boy and Girl of the Year.
