The LLS 2010 Man/Woman of the Year Kickoff Party

By

On March 25th, the Greater San Francisco Bay Area chapter of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society launched this year's search for the Man and Woman of the Year with a lively celebration at Harry Denton's Starlight Room. The candidates were all smiles as they mingled with special guests of honor -- Boy of the Year Adam Joseph Boegel, and Girl of the Year Stella Jade -- both of whom are brave blood cancer survivors.


The annual competition -- now in its 20th year -- involves truly compassionate local men and women who work to raise funds to support thousands of patients battling leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma.

The Grand Finale reveals the winners in a gala setting at the Palace Hotel on Saturday, June 5th, recognizing their months-long efforts with cocktails, delicious food, and an exciting auction. To donate now and to find out more information, click here!
