Meetup Description: Rock the Night Show proceeds to go to The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) funds lifesaving cancer research that has contributed to major advances in the treatment of blood cancers and many other types of cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy and stem cell transplants, that have helped patients live better, longer lives. New targeted therapies that kill cancer cells without harming normal tissue are providing drugs and procedures that are improving the quality of life.

But more research is critically needed:

* Every five minutes someone is diagnosed with blood cancer. Every 10 minutes, someone dies.
* Leukemia causes more deaths among children than any other cancer.
* Nearly 20,000 Americans died from lymphoma in 2007.
* The survival rate for myeloma is just 34 percent.
