The Leukemia Ball

Over the last three decades, the Leukemia Ball has reigned as one of Greater Washington, D.C.’s largest, non-political black tie events. The Ball has raised over $72 million for the Mid-Atlantic Region of LLS since it began in 1988. Having grown from 375 guests to more than 1,800, the Leukemia Ball presents star-studded entertainment that in past years has included Jerry Seinfeld, Smokey Robinson, Jay Leno, Hootie & The Blowfish, Foreigner, Diana Ross, Barenaked Ladies, Jim Gaffigan, and O.A.R. The upcoming Leukemia Ball will take place at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center on Saturday, April 6, 2024.
