Ava Gregory | Team Foxes for a Cure

Ava's Students of the Year Fundraiser

Jan 04, 2022

Hi everyone,

I am very excited to be participating as a candiate in the 2022 Students of the Year campaign this year. We are working to raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) and their mission to cure blood cancers over the next 7 weeks. Last year I fundraised as a team member and I'm excited to help lead the team this year in addition to personal fundraising. I learned a lot last year, but most of all I got to see how important the work of the LLS is, and how much of an impact we can have. 

The treatments for blood cancers need to be improved, especially for children, and that is what the LLS is working to do. With the generosity of everyone who donates, we can support them in that mission. 

After doing this campaign once I can see how many people in this world are either suffering from blood cancer, or have supported someone close to them dealing with that hardship. Participating in this campaign is a way to help all of them.

Thank you in advance for your support!
