Marissa's Students of the Year Fundraiser

Jan 20, 2021

Hi, my name is Marissa VanOrmer, and I wanted to thank you so much for visiting my fundraising page!

I would like to ask you to join me in supporting The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) by making a donation to my fundraising campaign. You may have already heard of my team, Bears Beating Cancer, and of Pints Pounding Cancer, our fundraising ice cream delivery service. 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. My appreciation for your support cannot be measured. Please remember that 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.

The Leukemia and Lymphoma society is the global leader in the fight to end cancer. LLS is committed to doing more for blood cancer patients and families than any organization in the world. LLS’s signature fundraising campaigns drive critical support for its mission, including a nearly $1.3 billion investment in cutting edge cancer research worldwide since it was founded in 1949. Since the 1960s, survival rates for many blood cancer patients have doubled, tripled, or even quadrupled.

Every facet of LLS’s mission – research, education and support, and policy and advocacy – work in harmony to put blood cancer patients and their families first. LLS has helped millions impacted by cancer throughout its more than 70-year history, even funding breakthrough blood cancer research to advance lifesaving treatments and cures that is now helping patients with other cancers and diseases. That is why at LLS we say that beating cancer is in our blood.

Please visit my website often, and share it with everyone you know who would also like to join us in the fight against cancer! Together, we have the power, the passion and the resolve to achieve a world without blood cancer. Help my team, Bears Beating Cancer, beat cancer! All donations are tax-deductible.

On behalf of cancer patients and their families everywhere, I sincerely thank you for your support!
