Blood Cancer Awareness Month
This committee is responsible for building a number of events around LLS Blood Cancer Awareness Month in September. The focus is to raise awareness of LLS and its mission through a number of different channels. Requesting and receiving proclamations from North Texas mayors and city councils is the priority. The goal is to have an Honored Hero or a volunteer with a mission connection speak at different city council meetings - when receiving the proclamation in person. Additional activities include, but are not limited to, lining up third party events to benefit LLS, creating partnerships in the community to place LLS materials in stores and restaurants, the sale of paper LLS icons at point of purchase, etc.

LLS Mission Exhibits
This committee is responsible for designing, creating and staffing a dynamic and interactive exhibit (or booth, depending on event) at every LLS-run event. Volunteers must be adept at speaking about LLS, what’s happening in North Texas and ways to get involved. The goal is to create a space that is a destination for the public to find out how they can get more involved with the North Texas Chapter. There are approximately 16 LLS events a year including but not limited to the Light the Night Walks, Big D Climb, Blood Cancer Conference, St. Valentines Day Luncheon, and TNT Kickoffs, that will need to be staffed.
