Students of the Year Triangle
Connor Kitson | Got CURE-age?
Welcome to Connor Kitson's SOY Fundraising Page!
Thank you for visiting my Students of the Year fundraising webpage! Although the funds raised online from this point forward won’t impact the competition for the Triangle Student of the Year, I’m proud to be continuing my efforts. Cancer hasn’t stopped, and so neither have I. I’m honored to be continuing my fundraising and working towards a special award for going “Above and Beyond,” as I know the need for the life-saving work of LLS is greater than ever!
With that in mind, I’ll be continuing to raise funds RIGHT now until the Grand Finale on June 18th. I appreciate your endless support to find a cure for blood cancers!
Welcome to Connor Kitson's SOY Fundraising Page!
I am honored to participate as a team member for the 2020 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 support my candidate and am 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 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!

Hello Connor. Your great-aunt Adeline (Nana's sister) was diagnosed with Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma, Stage IV, over 8 years ago. She'll be 90 in April. I told her that you were raising funds and awareness and she'd like to donate. She said "God Bless him...what a good boy!" lol. So here's $100 from her, Adeline O'Connor and $50 from me, Eileen Pfeifer, (Dad's favorite cousin!) Continued blessings to you.
