  • Mission

    Our mission is to create a world without blood cancer. We are committed to supporting and advocating for patients and their families, funding research for innovative new treatments, and bringing together neighbors to support each other and work for a cure.

    While we make that mission a reality, we have set a new, bold goal: enable patients with blood cancer to gain more than one million years of life by 2040.

    About Us

    We are Blood Cancer United, and we believe everyone with blood cancer deserves a longer, better life.

    That’s why we are on a mission to cure blood cancer and improve the quality of life of all patients and their families. How? We fund life-saving blood cancer research around the world, provide free information and support services for patients and their families, and are the voice for those seeking access to quality, affordable, coordinated care.

    With your help, we have invested more than $2 billion in groundbreaking research supporting many of today's most innovative approaches to treatment—helping those with blood cancer not only survive but also thrive.

    While we are a national organization, our commitment to the DMV is a top priority. We have donated 4.9 million in co-pay assistance across the DMV in our fiscal year 2025! Supporting patients in our community is at the forefront of how we show up for those with blood cancer!
