Ella & Emery's Students of the Year Fundraiser
Friends and family,
Thank you for visiting our fundraising page, welcome!
We encourage you to join us in supporting The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) by making a donation to our fundraising campaign. We are participating in the Students of the Year campaign in memory of our grandfather, Jack McFarland, who we sadly lost to lymphoma in 2009. Grampa Jack battled lymphoma for over 25 years and passed away at the age of 62. We know firsthand what it is like to watch a loved one battle cancer - and it is not at all easy. It is extremely hard on both the patient and their family. The money we raise during this campaign will get us closer to finding a cure for blood cancer so that no one else will have to fight the battle Grampa Jack fought. We ask you to please join us in the fight against blood cancer and help us reach our team's fundraising goal of $50,000.
Grampa Jack McFarland
As many of you know, Team Grampa has been involved with LLS for many years now. 2020 was our 16th year participating in the Light the Night Walk through LLS. Many of you have very generously supported our efforts for LLS in the past and we hope you will extend that support to this campaign. By donating to LLS, you support the many facets of LLS’s mission work from investing in groundbreaking research, providing education and support to patients, and advocating at the state and federal level for legislation to help those living with cancer.
As a global leader in the fight to end cancer, LLS is committed to doing more for blood cancer patients and families than any organization in the world. LLS’s signature fundraising campaigns drive critical support for its mission, including a nearly $1.3 billion investment in cutting edge cancer research worldwide since it was founded in 1949. Since the 1960s, survival rates for many blood cancer patients have doubled, tripled, or even quadrupled. LLS helped to advance 52 of the 60 FDA approved blood cancer treatments since 2017.
LLS has helped millions impacted by cancer throughout its more than 70-year history, even funding breakthrough blood cancer research to advance lifesaving treatments and cures that is now helping patients with other cancers and diseases. 40% of all cancer therapies approved by the FDA over the past 20 years started as blood cancer therapies, so in supporting LLS you are supporting all cancer patients. That is why at LLS we say that beating cancer is in our blood.
Please visit our website as often as you can and share it with everyone you know who would also like to join us in the fight against cancer. All donations are tax-deductible.
On behalf of cancer patients and their families everywhere, we sincerely thank you for your support!
