Visionaries of the Year (VOY) is a 10-week philanthropic competition for leaders in the DMV area to raise mission-critical funding for Blood Cancer United in honor of local blood cancer survivors. Funds raised go directly to Blood Cancer United’s groundbreaking research, patient support programs and advocacy efforts.
Ideal candidates are active community and business leaders – philanthropic, ambitious, social, resourceful, goal-oriented, and passionate about making a difference in the lives of individuals impacted by cancer.
The Visionaries of the Year campaign is a network of competitive individuals driven to find cures. If changing the world through meaningful networking sounds of interest to you, please consider nominating yourself or nominating someone you know to become a candidate by reaching out to Sasha Rocke, Campaign Director at Sasha.Rocke@lls.org.
