Students of the Year Washington DC
Elisa Terman
Welcome to Elisa Terman's SOY Fundraising Page!
Hi! My name is Elisa Terman and I am a junior at the academy of the holy cross. My cousin, Lisa Marshall, was diagnosed with Leukemia. She underwent treatment and beat the cancer. Unfortunately the cancer had come back and she passed away. I am doing this campaign in memory of every single person who has unfortunately passed away in their fight but in particular I’m doing this in memory of Lisa.
Welcome to Elisa Terman's SOY Fundraising Page!
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!

Hi, Elisa. As you may know, in Hebrew, each letter in the alphabet has a numerical rank, so numbers are formed by putting together the letters that match those numbers. "Chai" is the Hebrew word for life, and the two letters of "Chai" form the number 18! That's why my wife Margie and I am donating 4 times "Chai" to your worthy cause. I was very impressed when you came to your Dad's office and spoke to us about your project. Margie and I wish you much success with this project, and with your life. Dick Siegel
