Realizing The Vision 2006 Annual Report President & Chairman’s Message:

When Martin Luther King, Jr. told us of his dream in 1963, he opened the door to hope for millions of people who were able to envision, through his words, a world different from the one they experienced each day.

This year, The & Lymphoma Society emulated Dr. King’s great example by daring to dream of a new world for families affected by blood — in which a transformed healthcare landscape produces outcomes for patients breathtakingly better than the ones our mission: they now experience. The Society’s North Star 2015 Vision describes a future we aspire to create by the year 2015. Cure leukemia, lymphoma, It will guide our decision making and activities between now and then, serving as a critical milestone to be reached in the pursuit of our mission.

Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma, This year’s annual report will, as always, give an account of the fiscal year just completed. It will and improve the quality of life also provide insights and glimpses into the future to which we aspire for blood patients and their families, as depicted in the North Star 2015 Vision. The vision is ambitious, setting we of patients and their families. believe, the necessary goals for the years that lie ahead.

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society | 1 Welcome to the World of 2015

In 2015, the majority of patients with blood cancer are either cured or able to manage their condition with good quality of life. In some cases, diseases may be prevented.

Effective treatments, information, resources and support are widely accessible and patients are aware of them, enabling patients, their families and caregivers to cope effectively throughout their cancer journeys.

Myeloma 2015

Soon after moving to Atlanta, Thomas visits a new Meet physician for a routine physical exam. He receives Thomas J. unexpected news: He has multiple myeloma. In 2015, the diagnosis, while unwelcome, comes with prompt identification of options and recommendations. Advances in medical informatics allow Thomas’ physician to access his entire medical history securely and in seconds. Treatment options are quickly identified: A new vaccine is being tested in a Phase III clinical trial specially designed for older myeloma patients. Other clinical trial options are available as backups. Also, a newly approved oral, targeted therapy allows patients to manage their disease as a chronic illness, with little pain or disruption to their normal lifestyle. The Society’s streamlined services arm Thomas with information to help him choose the best available option and help him obtain reimbursement for treatment.

Outcome: Thomas J. gets to live beyond his 70s with a high quality of life. His family gets to keep their grandpa.

Cathy has Good options. Cathy thinks she has the flu. She has some options swollen lymph glands, a fever. Nothing to be too concerned about. But when symptoms persist, tests indicate non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Cancer. The Society’s easy-to-navigate information systems help Cathy review treatment options, which help inform her discussions with her oncologist. She considers an individualized oral therapy that combines three drugs targeted to the genetic flaws that caused her cancer; and an allogeneic transplant with stem cells donated by her sister. After making her decision, the Society puts her in touch with other patients who have undergone the same treatment.

Outcome: Six months after choosing the oral treatment, and never having missed a day of work, Cathy is feeling well, she’s optimistic and she and her family are living their lives together with a heightened appreciation for each day.

4| The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society | 5 Leukemia 2015

Before his birth in Brazil in 2015, there was A Plan a plan to keep new baby Davi from suffering the fate of a maternal uncle who had died for Davi of acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), and his brother, who had died years before, also from ALL. Genetic testing shortly after he was born showed that Davi carried the ALL predisposition. His doctors had access to an information network for collaborating physicians, institutions and organizations around the world. They learned of a new therapeutic agent, discovered by a Society researcher, that was extremely effective in preventing onset of acute leukemia in predisposed children. Davi received the therapy that prevented him from ever getting ALL.

Outcome: Davi, 13 years after his diagnosis, is a healthy and vibrant teenager who does well in school and has a perfect attendance record.

Team In Training Since its inception in 1988, Team In Training (TNT) participants have raised more than $695 million to advance the Society’s mission.

The Society’s signature fundraising event continued its steady growth, with 35,000 participants raising $114 million as they trained for marathons, 100-mile cycle rides and triathlons. TNT also surpassed a major milestone during the year, as the number of participants trained over its history reached 305,000. The Society salutes and thanks the loyal TNT alumni whose fundraising support has given new meaning to the field of endurance sports events.

Light The Night

Thousands of people in 250 communities in the United States and Canada participated in a Light The Night Walk event in fiscal year 2006, raising nearly $27 million to help advance the Society’s mission. These friends, families and corporate teams have earned a special place in the heart of the Society, and we extend our gratitude to each one of them for their efforts on behalf of patients everywhere who are battling blood cancer.

In its seventh year, Light The Night Walk has raised a cumulative total of $110 million for cancer research and services for patients.

10 | The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society | 11 Fiscal Year 2006 Fundraising Highlights continued

School & Youth Students across the country raised more than $15 million and demonstrated the collective power of kids to make a large impact on the search for cures for cancer. This was the program’s biggest year ever!

Nearly 19 percent of all U.S. (K-12) schools were recruited by the Society’s School & Youth Programs this year.

Donor Development

The Society relies on generous donors to help make progress in the fulfillment of its mission. This year, major donors and members of the Society’s Legacy Circle were responsible for contributions totaling $31.5 million, exceeding goals and reflecting a 21-percent increase over fiscal year 2005. Our gratitude to these supporters runs deep and is given on behalf of more than 785,000 blood cancer patients and their families.

100% of restricted gifts from donors is used to advance the Society’s mission.
