Hello and welcome to our fundraising page!

Team Put Cancer On The Ropes

We are honored to participate as co-candidates 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. 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.

We are a team of rock climbers, hence the name Team Put Cancer on the Ropes, but we are also all students at Mamaroneck High School. MHS is specially recognized as one of the longest-participating schools in Students of the Year. We are the fifth MHS team to participate and we hope to raise more money for LLS than all of the teams that came before us combined! Thank you for helping us reach our goal.

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 page, and our personal pages (linked below), often and bring friends who would also like to donate! On behalf of blood cancer patients everywhere, thank you for your support!

Beating cancer is in our blood, let's find a cure together!
