Help Fight Cancer with Eagles for a Cure!

We are a group of friends and juniors at Gonzaga College High School and Visitation who have all been affected by cancer in some way, whether through a friend, a sibling, a cousin, a parent, grandparent or personally. Unfortunately, most people have also been affected by this terrible disease in some way. We have responded to this pain and sadness by forming team “Eagles for a Cure”. We will compete in the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) Student of the Year Campaign carrying on the Gonzaga tradition led by Patrick Sheehy in 2015, by Joe Vermillion in 2016, and by Will Valentine in 2017. JP McGill and Peter Greene will lead our team this year, and, like our predecessors, will carry our name and what it represents with pride. We are Eagles for a Cure! Our goal is to raise funds for and to raise awareness of the Leukemia and Lymphoma and its research towards curing blood cancers and towards providing monetary support for current blood cancer patients. Specifically, we want to raise $50,000 for LLS between January 11^th and March 3^rd.

All donations are greatly appreciated and are tax deductible. They will go to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS), which will use the funds for its mission: To cure Leukemia, Lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and Myeloma, and to improve the quality of life of patients and their families. Blood cancer is responsible for more deaths among people under 21 than all other cancers, so we can more easily identify with it personally. However, we also care deeply about putting an end to the other types of cancers. So we are especially excited about LLS funded research because the many of the treatments for blood cancers have been effective in treating other cancers as well. Money raised for LLS benefits efforts to cure other cancers as well! With your help, we can ensure the best care for patients and can help fund the most pioneering research of our time. We hope to help everyone who is affected by cancer to get well soon and to soar like eagles!
