Leukemia Society study breaks down donation use
Jeri Biehler of the Kansas Leukemia Society says about 25 percent of the $3,000 registration fee per participant funds administrative costs and programs such as Team in Training. The group also spends varying amounts on patient aid with grants up to $750, while remaining funds go to the national office for research. In the latest fiscal year about 53 percent of $472,000 raised, roughly $250,000, was sent to the national office.
