Our fundraising page will close at 12 pm EST on Saturday, March 13. 

Please join us to celebrate on Saturday night (details below)!

We couldn't have done this campaign without all of you so we would love to have you join us and the rest of the DC 2021 Students of the Year campaign in celebrating all that we've accomplished over the past 7 weeks at the Virtual Grand Finale Celebration!

The event will take place virtually over Zoom on SATURDAY, MARCH 13 @ 7 PM EST

There is also a silent auction as a part of the celebration, which is OPEN NOW and will close 15 minutes into the celebration at 7:15 pm EST on March 13. 

Team Grampa has 4 auction items available: 

1. A handmade ceramic subscription through COMMUNE Pottery’s 21 Club (#508)

2. A Nantucket getaway package that includes a 2-night stay at the Nantucket Hotel and 2 passes to the Whaling Museum (#110)

3. A 3-night stay at a historic mansion in Salem, MA (#101)

4. A Wyndham Rewards certificate redeemable at any Wyndham hotel, resort, or timeshare property worldwide (#106)

The 4 items above will directly support our team, but there will be MANY other auction items, all of which will support The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s mission to cure blood cancer!

On behalf of Team Grampa, we want to tell you how much we truly love and appreciate your support this Valentine's Day!

We hope that you'll show your love to cancer patients and their families today by making a donation to Team Grampa or by registering for the Relentless for a Cure Virtual 5K (racing starts tomorrow)!

I encourage you to join us in supporting The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) by making a donation to our fundraising campaign to help us reach our goal of $50,000. 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.

Team Grampa is led by Co-Candidates Ella & Emery Stratman who are campaigning in memory of their grandfather, Grampa Jack, who unfortunately passed away from Lymphoma in 2009. He is our team's driving force in the fight against blood cancer. We are fortunate to have Caroline Clinton, Susan Pirnat, Katya Jagolta, Colette Stratman, and Susan McFarland on our team. Please select the team member you would like to support from the list above.

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 our 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!

Together we can find a cure for blood cancer!!
