Team Katz Fights Cancer!

Mar 11, 2021

Hi! Today I am thrilled to share with you that 6PM tonight marks the culmination of the 2021 LLS Students of the Year campaign! It has been quite the journey raising funds for LLS with my team, and I wanted to update you all as you have helped shape this experience for me!

To date we have raised over $16,000, and we have the rest of the day to increase that number. Thank you so much for those who have gotten involved by making a personal or corporate contribution. You have helped prove that even in a pandemic we can make a difference and impact thousands of patients and families across the country. I am so proud that you could help me honor my mother, Lisa Katz, and all those who are fighting blood cancers like leukemia and lymphoma.

Now I am asking that if you have not contributed to please help us reach our goal! I know that with your help, we can achieve our goal by the finale date, which is tomorrow, March 11th!

There are still several ways to get involved including:

1. Making a contribution to my fundraising page here.

2. Bidding on my silent auction item - #166 - a necklace donated by the great jewelry store Desires by Mikolay here: https://e.givesmart.com/events/koE/

3. Joining me at the Grand Finale Gala event and pledging a donation to my team and I at the paddle raise! YOU WON’T WANT TO MISS THIS!!

-For individuals 18 years of age or older, please register here - https://e.givesmart.com/events/koE/. Please note, a credit card is required to bid or donate and will only be charged if you win a silent auction item(s) or donate through the online system.

-For individuals under 18 years of age, please register here - https://docs.google.com/.../1FAIpQLSdVur.../viewform.

I can’t thank you all enough for supporting me during these times. It's because of generous donors like you that our team (Katz Fights Cancer) can leave our best possible mark on the community in honor of all patients battling blood cancers!

With my sincerest gratitude,

Spencer Katz and Team Katz Fights Cancer
