LEUKEMIA LYMPHOMA MYELOMA

2005 Annual Report our mission

Cure , Over its history, the Society has been the recognized leader in the fight against leukemia. Our name change to The Leukemia & Lymphoma lymphoma, Society in 2000 was simply perception catching up to reality. The Hodgkin’s Society’s objective is to find cures for all blood cancers, and to be disease and the leading resource for patients battling all of these cancers. myeloma, and This year, the Society took the first step in making access to specific improve the information and services simpler for patients with these cancers. quality of life We developed a color-coding system for the three main categories of blood cancers: Our new signature colors are green for leukemia, of patients and gold for lymphoma and blue for myeloma. Any information that their families. is relevant to all the diseases is coded burgundy. All print materials prepared for patients during this year reflect the new system, making access to important information and resources more efficient. You’ll also see our new colors in such e-newsletters as LeukemiaLinks, LymphomaLinks and MyelomaLinks.

The next step will be to extend the new system to other venues, including access to information on the Society’s Web site.

This year’s Annual Report displays the new colors with pride. They represent the ongoing efforts to constantly improve on the ways

the Society serves and supports patients and those who love and 2 005 | care for them. AN N U AL R EPOR T leadership message

We are fortunate to be able to report that fiscal year 2005 was a banner year for the Society in many ways. Let’s start with revenue. The Society raised $218.6 million through private donations, corporate gifts and our various fundraising campaigns – that’s $38 million more than we raised in fiscal 2004. Our already successful campaigns such as Team In Training® and Light The Night® Walk were even more productive in fiscal 2005 (for information on individual campaigns, please turn to pages 12 and 13 of this report). And our donor development initiatives have shown impressive growth – a 38 percent increase in revenue over last year, to more than $25 million in fiscal 2005.

The big story of the year is not just our success as fundraisers, but also our success as prudent stewards. Since its founding in 1949, the Society has been steadfast in pursuing its mission: Cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families. In fiscal 2005, we were able to strengthen our commitment, supporting four new Specialized Center of Research (SCOR) grants and renewing two others – for a total of six SCORs awarded in the fiscal year, a Society record. More money for the best research globally means more research successes; and more research successes mean greater hope for the hundreds of thousands of patients battling leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma.

Finally, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada became part of the Society effective July 1, 2004, and this year’s annual report is the first to include our Canadian operations. We are pleased to be serving the needs of patients and families in Canada as well as in the United States.

Until the day comes when we can finally say we’ve defeated blood cancers, the Society will be here to help guide patients and their families on the cancer journey. In fiscal year 2005, the Society had 2.5 million contacts with patients, caregivers and healthcare professionals, through our Web site, Information Resource Center, education programs and chapter-based outreach.

Yes, we made great progress in advancing our mission in fiscal 2005, thanks to the dedicated volunteers, employees, donors and researchers who helped make the year so successful. We are looking forward to doing even more in fiscal 2006! 2 005 |

Carolyn and Jerry O’Hara Deborah Scott-Ensley Phyllis J. Walton T 27 independent auditors’ report

The Board of Directors The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of financial position of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, Inc. (the Society) as of June 30, 2005, and the related consolidated statements of activities, cash flows, and functional expenses for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Society’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. The prior year summarized comparative information has been derived from the Society’s 2004 consolidated financial statements and, in our report dated October 1, 2004, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Society’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, Inc. as of June 30, 2005, and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
