Thank you for visiting my fundraising page, welcome!

My name is Carolyn Hoagland and I am a sophomore at Georgetown Visitation. I am excited to be a part of Team CUREsaders! We will be participating in The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) 2021 Students of the Year campaign. Groups of students across the county are coming together to raise as much awareness and money as possible for LLS's esteemed mission in finding a cure to blood cancer. 

I encourage you to join me in supporting LLS by making a donation to my fundraising campaign. By donating to LLS, you support the many facets of LLS’s mission work from investing in groundbreaking research, providing education and support to patients, and advocating at the state and federal level for legislation to help those living with cancer. My appreciation for your support cannot be overstated — each and every dollar donated to LLS brings us closer to our goal to end blood cancer and makes an impact for cancer patients and their families.

As a global leader in the fight to end cancer, LLS is committed to doing more for blood cancer patients and families than any organization in the world. LLS’s signature fundraising campaigns drive critical support for its mission, including a nearly $1.3 billion investment in cutting edge cancer research worldwide since it was founded in 1949. Since the 1960s, survival rates for many blood cancer patients have doubled, tripled, or even quadrupled.

Every facet of LLS’s mission – research, education and support, and policy and advocacy – work in harmony to put blood cancer patients and their families first. LLS has helped millions impacted by cancer throughout its more than 70-year history, even funding breakthrough blood cancer research to advance lifesaving treatments and cures that is now helping patients with other cancers and diseases. That is why at LLS we say that beating cancer is in our blood.

This cause is extremely important to me because my family, like many others, has been affected by cancer. My great aunt, Kitty McGowan, was diagnosed with lymphoma and unfortunately lost her fight at only 24 years old. Countless individuals across the country have suffered through a similar experience. I would not wish for anyone to suffer the same pain of losing a loved one like my family did, which is why I joined this incredible mission to contribute as much as I can to cancer research, awareness, and fundraising-- but I need your help! 

The campaign starts January 23rd and ends March 13th. Help me spread awareness and raise money for LLS's mission! I know that finding a cure will not be easy, and that is why every penny counts! I am so appreciative of any support you can give, and I am excited to see the difference that we can all make together!!

Please visit my website as often as you can and share it with everyone you know who would also like to join us in the fight against cancer. Together, we have the power, the passion and the resolve to achieve a world without blood cancer. All donations are tax-deductible.

On behalf of cancer patients and their families everywhere, I sincerely thank you for your support!

To finding a cure!
