Student Visionaries of the Year Lehigh

Kara Friend | Team M.A.D.E

Thank You!

Jan 03, 2023
Hello! My name is Kara Friend and I am a junior at Boyertown Area Senior High School. As my school year continues, I have decided to continue to be involved in an incredibly important cause that changes lives. The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) holds an annual fundraiser for blood cancer called Student Visionaries of the Year, or SVOY. This fundraiser runs from January 6th to February 25th. This year I have the wonderful opportunity to be a team leader. I manage a group of highly dedicated and hardworking people that are a part of my team; Team M.A.D.E (Make A Difference Everyday). Any donation amount helps! I am asking for donations not only because it is an essential cause, but also because I understand the severity of cancer. I have witnessed the effects of cancer and how it affects the patient and their peers. Making a donation of any kind helps this cause tremendously! I'm asking you to help by making a tax-deductible contribution! You will receive an email confirmation of your donation as soon as it is made. I thank you in advance for your support which will make a difference in the lives of thousands of patients battling blood cancers. Thank you so much for your generosity!
