Team Hearts of Gold:
Stuart Powell (Candidate)
Welcome To My Fundraising Page.
I’m excited to share with you that I am be teaming up with my friend Stuart Powell and a group of students from Landon, Holton-Arms, Walt Whitman, Stone Ridge and St. Paul’s who have formed The Hearts of Gold Team to raise critical funds for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) through our participation in the 2018 Students of the Year campaign. As you may know, leukemia is still the #1 cancer killer of people under the age of 20. Sadly, so many of our families and friends—my own included—are affected by some form of cancer and LLS research has been critical in reducing cancer-related mortality rates and getting patients the care they need. I am determined to change to help them continue that important work and do even more.
So here’s a little bit about the LLS Students of the Year Campaign! For 7 weeks, starting in January 2018, students nationwide will be competing to see who can raise the most funds and awareness for LLS’s mission to cure blood cancers. I’m honored and excited to be co-leading The Hearts of Gold Team and would be grateful if you would agree to be a part of it. My personal goal is to raise $50,000 towards the team’s total goal of $100,000. We can’t physically collect any money until kick off on January 11, 2018. But we can collect pledges for sponsorships, program book ads, and auction items--and are off to the races! Please support our team in our quest to cure cancer!!
As you’ll see in the attached materials, Hearts of Gold Team sponsors receive a number of benefits related to the LLS Grand Finale Gala on Saturday March 3, 2017, an amazing 700-person black tie event at the Crystal Gateway Marriott, where the winners of the Students of the Year Campaign will be announced. In addition, I’m excited to share that through a special partnership our team has secured with the Ambassador of Colombia, H.E. Camilo Reyes, our sponsors will also receive benefits related to “The Latin Lovers Soiree”, a special Valentine’s-themed party for teens and adults at the Ambassador’s stunning residence, the historic Thomas Gaff mansion, in Dupont Circle on Saturday, February 10, 2018.
Please visit our website often and bring friends who would also like to donate!
On behalf of blood cancer patients everywhere I thank you for your support!
