We’re so excited to tell you that the Students of the Year campaign has finally begun! Our goal is to raise as much money for blood cancer research as we can in seven weeks, from January 10th to February 28th. In order to do that, WE NEED YOUR HELP!! Donate here to support cancer patients and research and raise money for the cause!

We all have a connection to cancer, and all our team members are no stranger to it. Ranging from multiple family members having many different versions of cancer to a grandmother being diagnosed with breast cancer months after the death of her spouse, our team members have come together from three different schools to spread awareness and raise funds for a credible organization. We are very excited to be helping such a good cause, and feel free to share this website and information around to your friends and family!

Sincerely, Team CAN. Together, we CAN beat cancer

I am honored to participate in the 2019 Students of the Year program, a seven-week initiative in which select high school students from around the country participate in a fundraising competition to benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. I am proud to be raising critical dollars in honor of a young patient hero who is currently battling or is in remission from a blood cancer. Each dollar is a vote. The candidate team that raises the most money at the end of the seven weeks is named Student(s) of the Year. Our mission is to not only raise the most money but also to bring attention to blood cancers like leukemia, which is the most common form of cancer in children and teens.

Since the early 1960s, five-year survival rates for many blood cancer patients have doubled, tripled or even quadrupled. And many LLS supported therapies not only help blood cancer patients but are helping patients with other cancers and serious diseases. In fact, drugs first approved for blood cancers are now approved to treat patients with stomach cancers, skin cancers, and autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis.

We really are changing the face of blood cancer!

All donations are greatly appreciated and are tax deductible. They'll not only support LLS-funded research but will help provide critical information and support for patients, and support advocacy for laws to ensure patients can access the care and treatments they need.

Please visit our website often and bring friends who would also like to donate!

On behalf of blood cancer patients everywhere, thank you for your support!
