Kyle Minami | Buckets Against Cancer

Kyle's Students of the Year Fundraiser

Jan 26, 2021

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page, welcome! 

Hello!  My name is Kyle Minami and I am proud to be a part of Buckets against cancer guided by Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Students of the Year 2021 Campaign.  I am currently attending Cleveland Charter High School as a sophmore and playing on the same Japanese American basketball team as candidate Trevor Lee.  I am excited to be part of such an amazing movement and can't wait to beat cancer!

I am doing this all for my Uncle Jeff who passed away a few years ago to cancer and I would never want anyone to go through this pain.  So when I was asked to join this movement I could not back down from a challenge.  I encourage you to join me in supporting The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) by making a donation to my fundraising 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. My appreciation for your support cannot be overstated — each and every dollar donated to LLS brings us closer to our goal to end blood cancer and makes an impact for cancer patients and their families.

LLS all began when a family unfortunately lost their son to Lymphoma and wanted to start a change.  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.

Every facet of LLS’s mission – research, education and support, and policy and advocacy – work in harmony to put blood cancer patients and their families first. 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. That is why at LLS we say that beating cancer is in our blood.

Please visit my 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. Together, we have the power, the passion and the resolve to achieve a world without blood cancer. All donations are tax-deductible.

On behalf of cancer patients and their families everywhere, I sincerely thank you for your support!
