Global Traveler 2014 Silent Auction: Exclusive Travel Experiences

Every four minutes someone is diagnosed with a blood cancer — about 15 people per hour, 360 per day, 2,520 per week and more than 120,000 people each year. Cancer does not discriminate and can affect anyone you know. You can make a difference by supporting Global Traveler’s efforts to fight leukemia, lymphoma and other blood cancers.

On March 1, Global Traveler launches its 10th annual online travel auction. For the fourth consecutive year, proceeds will benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS), an organization our staff and partners deeply support. Within our team we include a member of the local LLS Board of Trustees, a coach for LLS’s Team in Training program and several contributors to the society’s annual gala. We invite you to join us in working toward an end to blood cancers.

LLS-funded research is advancing treatments that have implications beyond blood cancers and are moving the medical community closer to cures for many malignancies. Stand with us: help cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life for patients and their families.

Below are the exceptional travel experiences, airline tickets and luxury items available for bid beginning March 1. Our partners — hotels, airlines and travel brands — understand the importance of LLS’s mission and have generously donated these items to support the cause.

One hundred percent of auction proceeds benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Trips and prizes await lucky bidders; new items will be added regularly through May 1. Visit our website for full rules and bidding instructions, and remember to check the site daily — bid often to increase your chances of winning.
