Children’s Leukemia Foundation of Michigan (CLF) is a statewide organization that provides information, financial assistance and emotional support to Michigan families affected by leukemia, lymphoma and related blood disorders. CLF offers a variety of services that help to meet the needs of its patients and families.

The primary focus at CLF is to support its patients, which is why the majority of funding directly benefits patients and families. Fundraising is crucial for continuation of CLF’s services. However, it is important to note that CLF does not phone solicit and donations the Foundation raises in Michigan stay in Michigan.
