Students of the Year Columbus, OH

Payton Williamson | Hilliard Paws For a Cause

Welcome to Payton Williamson's SOY Fundraising Page!

Jan 13, 2020

I am honored to participate as a co-candidate for the 2020 Students of the Year program, a seven-week initiative in which select high school students from around the country participate in a fundraising competition to benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. I am so excited to be a candidate for the team Hilliard Paws For A Cause! I am proud to support and am raising critical dollars in honor of a young patient hero who is currently battling or is in remission from a blood cancer. Each dollar is a vote. The candidate team that raises the most money at the end of the seven weeks is named Student of the Year. Our mission is to not only raise the most money but also to bring attention to blood cancers like leukemia, which is the most common form of cancer in children and teens.

Since the early 1960s, five-year survival rates for many blood cancer patients have doubled, tripled or even quadrupled. And many LLS supported therapies not only help blood cancer patients but are helping patients with other cancers and serious diseases. In fact, drugs first approved for blood cancers are now approved to treat patients with stomach cancers, skin cancers, and autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis.

We really are changing the face of blood cancer!

All donations are greatly appreciated and are tax deductible. They'll not only support LLS-funded research but will help provide critical information and support for patients, and support advocacy for laws to ensure patients can access the care and treatments they need.

Please visit our website often and bring friends who would also like to donate!

On behalf of blood cancer patients everywhere, thank you for your support!

    Payton, We are excited to support your efforts as a Student of the Year for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in central Ohio! This cause is near and dear to our hearts because my mother-in-law battled and beat Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (APL), a rare form of leukemia, over the last year. Thank you for dedicating yourself to supporting the great work of LLS! Kim, Eric, Alex, Kelsey, and Nathan Lawler
