National Capital Area Students of the Year
Thea Bitar | Team S.W.A.T
Welcome to Thea Bitar's SOY Fundraising Page!
Hi everyone!
Welcome to my fundraising page for Team SWAT (Students With a Target)! I am honored to be the candidate for Team SWAT in the 2018 Students of the Year program; a seven-week campaign in which high school students/teams from around the country participate in a fundraising competition to benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
I am running Team SWAT in honor of my friend and teammate's dad: Dan Ward, who recently passed away from blood cancer. I am also working with LLS for the 1.2 million people battling blood cancers today. I am hoping to raise $50,000 to be put towards blood cancer research, patient advocacy and patient support. This cause is not limited to only blood cancers because drugs first approved for blood cancers are now approved to treat patients with stomach cancers, skin cancers, and autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis.
All donations are greatly appreciated and are tax deductible. Please visit our website and facebook (Team SWAT) often and spread the word to friends who would also like to donate!
On behalf of Team SWAT and blood cancer patients everywhere I thank you for your support!
