The Blood Cancer Foundation of Michigan (formerly Children's Leukemia Foundation of Michigan)

We have been working with clf since diagnosed with leukemia in 2013 and the staff and program has been amazing and supportive.

CLF is amazing! They support our social and emotional needs by providing events, phone calls, emails, and more! We LOVE CLF!!!

As a social worker for the Children's Leukemia Foundation of Michigan, it is amazing to support children, adults and families faced with Leukemia, Lymphoma, and other blood related disorders. We provide financial and emotional support to all CLF patients and families.

As a social worker I know how incredibly important the work that Children's Leukemia Foundation of Michigan is doing. They provide valuable services for adults and children in need. No matter the need...big or small CLF is there to provide a helping hand through each and every situation.

I have been working in this field and this charity proves its point

I am doing a school report and this charity has been amazing.

I have been involved with Children's Leukemia Foundation of Michigan for several years and I look forward to continuing my support for an excellent organization. From my experience, CLF has a strong board of directors and it invests in the youth to one day carry the organization's torch. CLF also has a great mix of patient events so you can see the non-profit at work and the genuine gratitude of the families CLF helps.

CLF does an amazing job dealing with patients and their families during difficult times. They offer a tremendous amount of support and guidance. CLF is a wonderful organization!

Have tremendously enjoyed being a part of the CLF community. Comprised of truly inspiring patient families, gracious volunteers, dedicated corporate sponsors and motivating staff, it has been a true pleasure coming together throughout the state to provide much needed services to the patients CLF serves. If you're looking to join a dedicated cause and make a true difference in the lives of others, I highly recommend joining forces with CLF.

This organization goes above and beyond for their patient families! The social workers work tirelessly and no patient is ever turned away! 82 cents of every dollar raised goes directly to the foundations mission !

I have been extremely involved in the giving community for many years and have been a follower of CLF of Michigan - through attending various fundraising events and even volunteering. I have gained tremendous insight to this statewide organization and understand the Foundation currently serves over 4,500 families statewide, which is an extraordinary accomplishment. Transparency can always be an opportunity for development with charity foundations, and I hope to see CLF take these reviews into consideration. Overall, I highly recommend attending some fundraising events and watch for this Foundation to continuously grow

I've given to CLF multiple times over the past few years and feel good about what this organization does to help others. The staff are committed and passionate, and it's also reassuring to know that .82 of every dollar goes right back to the patients they serve.

This organization has been so helpful to our community. I am honored and thrilled to be a part of such a wonderful cause. A full .82 of every dollar raised is put directly into programs helping children adults afflicted by leukemia, lymphoma and other blood disorders. Through disease and treatment education, case management, emotional support and financial aid, more than 4,300 people will receive services this year alone.

Had a prior interest in this charity so I check in with it now and then via Guide Star to see how its doing. I note that it now has a "Guide Star Exchange Seal, demonstrating its commitment to transparency" yet its most recent 990 is dated 19 months ago (6/30/2011). Furthermore, it does not publish an annual report or have an audit on Guide Star and the needs assessment it has on its website to keep abreast with the needs of families it serves has not been updated since 2004. How is that transparency? Rather, it seems high on fundraising but low on disclosure as to how funds are used.

CLF has yet to post their 990's for 2008. Calls and letters to the CFO and the Board Chairman regardging the status of the Sylvia Brown Endowment have never been responded to.
