Sophia's Students of the Year Fundraiser
Thank you for visiting my fundraising page, welcome!
What a year it has been due to covid. Unfortunately, families all over the world are still battling this awful disease we call cancer. I strongly enourage that you support The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) by donating to my fundraising page. 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 to my team Fight 4 a Cure cannot be overstated — each and every dollar donated to LLS brings us closer to our goal to end blood cancer and makes an impact on cancer patients and their families.
My Mom, Michelle Benaim, was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer when I was about 10 years old. As a little girl, I would sit with her in her hospital room and watch as she goes through chemo treatments. Sadly, after my mom was in remission her cancer came back and she passed away in September of 2017. Nobody should have to go through the pain of losing a family member to cancer, let alone fight for their lives after being diagnosed. I have made it my goal in life to strive to do whatever I can to stop this awful disease from taking anyone else. By supporting my team Fight 4 a Cure, you are helping so many families that are battling cancer. My personal goal is to raise 45,000 dollars for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and I hope you can help me reach it!
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.
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! Nobody should have to know the feeling of losing a loved one to cancer again. Beating Cancer is in our Blood!
Thank you for supporting me,
Sophia Benaim

Dear Sophia, Congratulations on your wonderful effort. As my parents are both cancer survivors, as well as two of my grandparents, and in honor of your mom, I would be honored to support your LLS campaign. Both of my kids were involved in the campaign in earlier years, and it is one of the worthiest causes we can support for cancer research. Keep up the great work!
