Student Visionaries of the Year Boston

Evie Shih | Newton South

Evie's Student Visionaries of the Year Fundraiser

Feb 13, 2025

Visionaries look to the future—and see infinite possibility.
They challenge the status quo—and make the impossible possible.
They boldly imagine a better world – and lead the charge to create it.

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society was built on that same vision - of a better world - one without blood cancers.

Hi! My name is Evie Shih, and I’m a junior at Newton South High School. I decided to take part in this campaign because I want to make a real difference in the community and support those affected by blood cancer. I believe that, together, we can create meaningful change.

With your support, we can help fund life-saving research, provide resources for patients and families, and bring hope to those who need it most. 

This year, I’m proud to be a part of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Student Visionaries of the Year Campaign, working to raise as much as possible for LLS’s mission.

 

As a global leader in the fight against blood cancer, LLS:

  • Funds cutting-edge research leading to breakthroughs in immunotherapy, genomics and personalized medicine that are improving and saving the lives of patients
  • Provides free education and support for blood cancer patients and families, including personalized, one-on-one support, assistance with identifying and enrolling in clinical trials, and more.
  • Mobilizes thousands of advocates to drive policy changes that accelerate the development of new cancer treatments and break down barriers to care.

Please consider joining this fight by making a donation. All donations are greatly appreciated and tax-deductible. Please visit my website often and tell friends who would also like to donate!

 

Thanks to your support, my efforts will help ensure this generation is the last to see cancer.

On behalf of blood cancer patients everywhere, thank you!

    Evie, congratulations on being nominated as a candidate for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) 2025 Boston Student Visionaries of the Year campaign! This is a very worthy cause, and I wish you all the best with your fundraising efforts!

    This donation is made in honor of Ruby Navarro, a brave and vibrant 4-year-old warrior battling B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. Ruby's strength and spirit in the face of such challenging treatments are truly inspiring. From her love of mermaids to her joy in simple pleasures like playdough and slime, Ruby reminds us all of the precious moments that make life beautiful.
