Welcome to Barclay Rayome's SOY Fundraising Page!

Jan 09, 2019

Hi, my name is Barclay Rayome and I am honored to be participating in the 2019 Students of the Year program. SOY (Students of the Year) is a seven-week initiative in which select teams of high school students from around the country participate in a fundraising competition to benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. 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.

I am proud to be raising money in honor of a young patient hero who is currently battling or is in remission from a blood cancer. Each dollar is a vote. My team and I will be working very hard to raise our goal of $30,000 and we can't do it alone. As someone who has dealt with cancer in their family as well as a few good friends, I know that any contributions will go a long way. We greatly appreciate any support from donors like you.

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!
