The Leukemia Ball

Join The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) at our National Signature Black Tie Event. For more than three decades, the Leukemia Ball has reigned as one of Greater Washington, D.C.’s largest, non-political black tie events. The Ball has raised over $74 million for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society since it began in 1988.

Having grown from 375 guests to more than 2,000, the Leukemia Ball presents star-studded entertainment that in past years has included Jerry Seinfeld, Smokey Robinson, Jay Leno, Hootie & The Blowfish, Foreigner, Huey Lewis & The News, Diana Ross, Barenaked Ladies, Jim Gaffigan, Andy Grammer, O.A.R. and Kathleen Madigan.

The magical evening includes dinner, dancing, an inspirational program, headline entertainment, auctions, and more!

Planning for the Leukemia Ball is spearheaded by the National Executive Committee - a group of more than 30 dedicated business leaders connected to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Mission. This event could not happen without the generous support of our leadership and partners.
