Welcome to Caroline Gretencord's SOY Fundraising Page!

Jan 25, 2018

Hi!! Welcome to my fundraising page!

I am honored that I am a candidate for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Students of the Year (SOY) Campaign.The Students of the Year campaign is an exciting leadership development and philanthropy program in which high school students participate in a seven-week fundraising competition from January 25th-March 17th. 

This campaign is very close to my heart because three of my loved ones have been diagnosed with blood cancer – my great-grandmother, my best friend’s mom, and my aunt. When my aunt was recently diagnosed with lymphoma, I knew I had to participate in SOY.

Did you know that every three minutes one person in the United States is diagnosed with a blood cancer and every nine minutes someone in the United States dies from a blood cancer? I am asking you for your support in my campaign in the fight against blood cancer.

Every day, researchers are closer to finding a cure. My hope is that someday LLS will no longer exist because blood cancer will be cured. As a result of generous donations over the past 50 years, the survival rate of children with leukemia has gone from 3% to 90%. Let’s get that number to 100%!

Thank you so much in advance for your generous donations to my campaign and to LLS. Every dollar raised is a vote for me and more importantly a vote to cure cancer!

With love,

Caroline Gretencord

  • Jennifer Weber

    Paula was my cousin. She raised these amazing children who are all now grown adults. She was a triathlete. She kept herself in shape and this terrible silent disease took her from us way too young. What is most amazing to me about Paula and why this gift is dedicated to her, is in her last year, when she was most sick, she created a motivation speaking program to speak to others who were affected by L&L. Even though she knew her days were numbered, she spent her time telling others the power of a positive attitude and love from a family. She would do as many as she could live and when she could not, it was via video conference. Her spirit was never broken. Thanks Paula for teaching us all grace under extreme pressure.
