I joined The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Student Visionaries of the Year Campaign because I strive to truly make a difference in the world around me. Unfortunately, I have seen firsthand the impact cancer has on so many. No one should have to go through such a brutal disease, and no three words ("You Have Cancer") should have the ability to change someone's life forever. Knowing that through being a part of this campaign I have the opportunity to raise money to fund research ensuring LLS can create a world without blood cancers is incredibly humbling to me. LLS is making an impact, in our community, in this nation, and around the world. So join me, my team, and LLS in our fight to help patients and families fight blood cancers.
Introduction to my Campaign!
Dec 22, 2024
My name is Sabrina Brown, and I am a sophomore at Mount Airy High School. I am excited to announce that I have been nominated as a candidate for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s Student Visionary of the Year campaign. The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) is the largest nonprofit dedicated to creating a world without blood cancers. Luckily, they are at the forefront of the fight to cure blood cancer, and I am ecstatic to join their fight! LLS has invested more than $1.7 billion in cancer research since 1949, and this number grows each year through different campaigns such as The Student Visionaries of the Year Campaign. The Student Visionaries of the Year Campaign is a groundbreaking philanthropic leadership development program for high school students. Through this campaign, students embark on an exciting 7-week journey to raise money to advance research creating a world without blood cancers, hoping to earn the Student Visionary of the Year title. During the 7-weeks candidates raise money as a way to learn while helping others by looking to the future and seeing infinite possibilities. The 7-week period is February 22 to April 12, and all money raised must be raised within this period. However, I will utilize the time until then to spread the word about this campaign, plan, educate, create a team, and organize events. I ask that you join me in the fight to help cure blood cancers and all other cancers as well so that no one, ever has to hear the words “You have Cancer” ever again. Stay tuned for follow-ups, and more information regarding this campaign as I continue to embark on this journey. I am so humbled and grateful for the opportunity to make a difference, no matter how small in the world and I cannot wait to share this journey with you all!

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.
I am a visionary; I have a vision for a world without cancer, but I need your help.
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!
