Our upcoming events include the 2010 New York City Lymphomathon walk, which will be held at the South Street Seaport on Sunday, May 16, 2010. Please join us for this great event, and think about forming a walk team. Further details are available by clicking the link below or via the Lymphomathon Central button on the website.

This session will take place at the Gilda’s Club clubhouse in lower Manhattan.

Making a Difference: The LRF Advocacy Program
 The New York Chapter provides important public policy and advocacy updates for chapter members, advocates and volunteers.
Our local Advocacy Program focuses on taking action on laws, policies and positions that affect every lymphoma patient and survivor. By contacting elected officials via phone calls, e-mail and letters in support of these priorities, local advocates help LRF to make lymphoma a national health priority.
We encourage you to attend a local chapter meeting, so that you can learn more about the LRF Advocacy Program, and to receive an update on federal policies likely to affect the lymphoma community. To become involved with these advocacy efforts, contact your local Advocacy Chair today at advocacy@lymphoma.org.
The Lymphoma Research Foundation has two Chapters in New York State.
