HDI Global's Students of the Year Fundraiser
Welcome HDI Global team members!
We are Maddy & Maya, juniors at Lincoln Way Central. We are so honored you are going to help us raise money for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) and our campaign for Students of the Year. Students of the Year is a seven-week fundraising competition to raise as much money as possible for LLS. Our goal is to raise $20,000 before March 7.
We are competing because of personal connections to the cause, in honor of Lukas a 4-year old kid from Bolingbrook fighting leukemia, and our overall passion for helping others. Watch this video of Lukas sharing what it has been like for him to have cancer. We are asking for your support in our efforts to help LLS and their mission to ensure access to treatments and ultimately cure blood cancers. We encourage you to make a donation to this HDI Global fundraising page and to reach out to others you know to contribute as well. Many people may have a connection to cancer and would love to support LLS.
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. Many LLS-supported therapies not only help blood cancer patients but are also now used to treat patients with other types of cancers like skin, stomach, lung, brain, breast, pancreatic and prostate cancers. And LLS-funded drugs like targeted therapies and immunotherapies are now saving thousands of lives every day.
The support from people like you has been responsible for the blood cancer advancements that have doubled, tripled, and in some cases quadrupled the survival rate for some blood cancers. Our 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. All donations are greatly appreciated and tax-deductible.

Great job to Maddy & Maya for raising awareness and funds for the LLS!! I was personally impacted and know two survivors of Lymphoma but I did not know how often it affects children and how few drugs have been developed to help children fight it.
