The Ladies Leukemia League of the Gulf South (LLL) is a non-profit organization
founded in 1969 by a group of ladies dedicated to finding a cure for leukemia. Proceeds from their major fund raiser - the Fête de Nöel Luncheon and Fashion Show are used to fund grant proposals submitted by medical researchers at institutions in the Gulf South Region (Louisiana, Texas and Mississippi) to their panel of six volunteer physicians. The LLL functions without a paid staff, but rather with dedicated members who work year round to bring hope to the millions who suffer.
