Students of the Year Washington DC

Elizabeth & Colby Cornwell | Team Aces For A Cure

Elizabeth & Colby Students of the Year Fundraiser

Jan 23, 2021

Thank you all for visiting our fundraising page, welcome!  We are both High School students at Damascus High School and are honored to be nominated for The 2021 Students of the Year Campaign.

We encourage you to join us in supporting The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) by making a donation to our 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. Our 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.

This campaign is near and dear to our hearts. We are partipating in honor of our Grammie, Stephanie Jones. Our team name, Aces For A Cure, represents our Grammie's love for tennis. She was a constant in our lives and was an amazing role model for us. She was diagnosed with Lymphoma, June 2014, and after her 6 month heroic battle, she passed away a couple of days before her 66th birthday. She was always there to help others and support us in whatever we did, and that is why we are dedicating this campaign to her and all those battling blood cancers. 

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.

Our Team Aces For A Cure Goal is to raise $50,000!​ This will allow our team to sponsor a blood cancer research project with our team name in honor of our Grammie.  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.

Please visit our website as often as you can between now and March 13th 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, we sincerely thank you for your support!
