2022 Bateman Case Study Competition

2022 Competition

PRSSA partnered with the Lymphoma Research Foundation for the 2022 Bateman Competition. The Lymphoma Research Foundation is the nation’s largest nonprofit devoted exclusively to funding innovative lymphoma research and serving the lymphoma community through education programs, outreach initiatives, and patient services. 

Currently, more than one million people in the United States are living with, or in remission from, a form of lymphoma— the most common type of blood cancer. More than 111,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with the disease each year. The competition will challenge student teams to research, plan, implement and evaluate a public relations campaign centered on raising awareness around the resources currently available to those touched by the disease, including patients, survivors, caregivers and loved ones. More specifically, students will be tasked with educating adolescents and young adults (AYA), while revamping the foundation’s campaign efforts toward eradicating lymphoma.
