Mantle Cell Lymphoma Research Challenge Grant
The LRF's Mantle Cell Lymphoma Research Initiative has made great strides since an anonymous donor jump started the program in 2003. Now an anonymous donor has pledged $500,000 to stimulate donations to continue the effort. With this new pledge of $500,000, we have the opportunity to increase funding for mantle cell research by $1 million. To donate to the Mantle Cell Lymphoma Research Grant, call Sue Bliss or Joan Mistrough at (800) 235-6848 or donate online at www.lymphoma.org/MCLgrant.
