Students of the Year Austin
Grace May | Grace May's Campaign Team
Welcome to Grace May's SOY Fundraising Page!
My name is Grace May, and I am honored to inform you that the Central Texas Chapter of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) has nominated me as a candidate in their 4th annual Students of the Year fundraising challenge. I am running as a junior from Saint Michaels Catholic Academy in Austin, Texas, and I could not be more excited to make a difference in the lives of patients across the country! Unfortunately, each of our lives has been touched in some way by cancer. Personally, I lost my grandma two years ago to cancer at the start of high school which was a painful and eye-opening experience to how fragile life can be. Through Students of the Year, I hope to help raise money and awareness to find a cure in the near future so other families do not have to go through what ours did. I am optimistic that with your help this is possible!
LLS is an amazing nonprofit organization whose fundraisers help provide research for blood cancers (Hodgkin’s disease, myeloma, leukemia, and lymphoma). LLS offers support for patients, survivors, their families, and it helps to advance the science behind other cancers through its research. Unfortunately, there is no early detection for blood cancers, only the search for a cure.
I have set a goal of $30,000 to reach by the end of this 7-week campaign. The 7-week campaign will commence on January 8th, 2020 and end with a Grand Finale Celebration on February 28th, 2020 where Austin’s Student of the Year will be announced. Every dollar counts as a “vote” towards my campaign and the Student with the most “votes” will be named the winner. My competitors have written similar letters to their family and friends seeking donations so I ask that you give in whatever capacity you feel comfortable with.
You can also help raise funds by inviting others to donate, inquiring with your employer about corporate matching programs, and sharing content from my webpage on social media.
Please feel free to reach out to me directly if you would like to attend our campaign ending Grand Finale Celebration or receive sponsorship information/ discuss in-kind donations. Thank you so much for your help, as everyone wins when cancer loses and it is your gift that makes a difference!
