Sarah's Students of the Year Fundraiser
Hello everyone and Happy New Year! As most of you know, I participated in the Students of the Year program last year as a team member. I have exciting news that this year I will take on a bigger role and serve as a candidate (team leader) of Team S.W.A.G (Students With A Goal). For those of you who are new to this program, Students of the Year is a 7-week campaign in which select high school students compete to raise the most money to support blood cancer research and support for patients and families.
Team S.W.A.G is a legacy team and this year I have teamed up with a friend, and Yorktown student, Sadie O’Neal. Last year, Team S.W.A.G doubled our original goal and we need your help to do it again!! Our goal this year is no small feat of $50,000.
This campaign means so much to me for so many reasons. My great grandfather passed from Leukemia after many years of treatments and days in the hospital. He was such an inspiring, strong, loving man, and it is sad to think that this is such a common issue in today's world. I could not skip out on an opportunity to help to save a life by funding research to find a cure. Another reason is that this gives me an opportunity to be involved in my community and learn some great leadership and organization skills.
I hope I can get your commitment to support my efforts in this important cause. Any donation, big or small, can make such a difference in my individual goal of raising $10,000!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and I appreciate your support!

I’m donating in memory of Edward D. Radbill. MDS took him from us. He was my amazing Dad, my hero, and my friend. He was a wonderful husband, fantastic father, supportive brother of nine siblings, always helpful neighbor, loving grandfather of six, dedicated 6 year WWII veteran, as well as a friend to everyone he met -human and animal. He was a role model of all that is good and right, and he is missed so very, very much.
