Light It Red for Lymphoma – A Blood Cancer Awareness Month Initiative

What is Blood Cancer Awareness Month?

Due in large part to the Lymphoma Research Foundation’s Advocacy Program, the month of September was designated Blood Cancer Awareness Month (BCAM) by the U.S. Congress in 2010. The blood cancer community uses BCAM to raise awareness and educate others about these diseases.
