Srihasa Penchikala | Team The Answer to Cancer
Srihasa's Students of the Year Fundraiser
Hi! I’m Srihasa Penchikala and I was nominated as a candidate for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) 2021 Central Texas Students of the Year Campaign.
This is a 7-week initiative from January 7th to February 26th to raise money and advocate for LLS. We are raising money in honor of young patients who are currently battling or are in remission from blood cancer. My team and I have set a goal of $20,000 and every cent collected will go directly to LLS, the largest blood cancer research program in the nation.
Leukemia is the most common form of blood cancer in children and is fatal. Blood cancers and the available treatments for them take an enormous toll on a child’s body and have devastating side effects. The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society is the largest nonprofit dedicated to finding better cures for cancer and is the largest donor to blood cancer research in the nation. LLS has invested nearly $1.3B in cancer research and helped advance 56 blood cancer therapies since 2017.
My campaign will provide support to the critical work of LLS in hopes that one day, no one will have to suffer from cancers and grow up without the ones they love. Our mission is to not only raise money, but to also bring attention to blood cancers like leukemia.
All donations are tax-deductible and will help provide critical support for patients and help advocate for laws that ensure patients have better access to the treatments they need. By supporting my campaign, you can be a part of finding a cure for all cancers and make an incredible impact.
Please visit our website often and bring friends who would also like to donate!
Thank you for all your support and partnering with a campaign so close to my heart.
