Founded in San Francisco in 1990, the Man, Women & Celebrity of the Year competition is staged annually in 41 major cities. The competition's goal is to raise funds for the advancement of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's mission: Cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families.

This year's Man, Women & Celebrity of the Year competition began April 5, 2007 and continues through June 1, 2007. Judged solely on a philanthropic basis, the three-winning candidates are those who raise the most funds for the society and their assigned children during an eight-week period.
