The board of directors of the Foundation
is composed of approximately ten healthcare professionals and
interested persons from other fields. The Leukemia Foundation of
Arizona is one of the few recognized charitable organizations which have
absolutely no paid staff. This results in an expense to distributed
funds ratio of 7.7%.
The Foundation, a certified 501C3 organization, reaches out its helping hand both materially and emotionally to Arizona
Families. While the aid is limited to those under 21, it is given freely and quickly,
and with respect for the individuals dignity. LFA provides many
different services for stricken children and their families.
