The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Presents

Visionaries of the Year

Visionaries of the Year is a philanthropic competition to support blood cancer research among a group of motivated and dedicated individuals in communities across the United States. Candidates form powerful fundraising teams and compete in honor of two local children who are blood cancer survivors. 

The candidate team who raises the most funds during the ten-week campaign is awarded the prestigious title of Visionary of the Year in their community. The candidate who raises the most across the entire US will be recognized as the national Visionary of the Year.

In just 10 weeks, 9 motivated candidate teams and their 49 dedicated team members raised $213,000 for LLS's cutting-edge blood cancer research and patient services!
CONGRATULATIONS to our 2023 Pittsburgh Visionaries of the Year participants on such an incredible impact!
