Crushin' Cancer's Students of the Year Fundraiser

Feb 15, 2021

Welcome To Our Fundraising Page! 

WATCH OUR VIDEO to learn more about our campaign!

We are Mikayla and Madelyn DeMatt, and we're running as Team Crushin' Cancer! We are super excited to run this campaign and lead our team on this journey.

We're running for SOY in honor of our dad, who was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2012. We were only in elementary school at the time, and it was a very scary and difficult time for us. Our family has been passionate about supporting the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and their mission to find cures for blood cancers since then. Our family has been fundraising for LLS through the Light the Night Walk, but Students of the Year is our opportunity to independently give back to LLS for all of their help during our father's battle with blood cancer.

Please donate to our campaign! We have a goal of raising at least $50,000 to name a research grant in honor of our dad. Your donation will go towards research for cancer treatments, supporting patients and their families, and finding a cure. We want to be the generation that cures cancer, and you can help us do so!
