Making a Difference: The LRF Advocacy Program

The Chicago 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.

Please call the Chicago chapter office if you have any questions or are interested  in getting more involved.

We’ve Been Challenged – You Can Help Us Raise $400,000 for the Chicago Lymphomathon!

The 2009 Chicago Lymphomathon just reached the $300,000 mark thanks to the support from the record number of walk participants. Now, a generous anonymous donor has issued us a Challenge! From this point on, all donations will be matched dollar for dollar, up to $50,000. We can raise $400,000 with the one to one match.

You can help us rise to the challenge by supporting the Chicago Lymphomathon. All donations will be doubled thanks to the Challenge Grant. The more people we reach, the more dollars we raise!

This is a great opportunity to make your donation count even more. Online donations can be made by going to the 2009 Chicago Lymphomathon page at www.lymphomathon.org/chicago2009, and clicking on the "General Donation" link.

With your help we will reach our $400,000 goal!
