I am so happy to announce the launch of my Students of the Year Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) campaign along with my co-candidate Sarah Finkel. Over the past couple of months Sarah and I have been working super hard along with our 13 team members of Team S.W.A.G (Students With A Goal). My personal goal is to raise $6,000 for LLS and overall as a team we hope to raise $50,000 and we need your help!

Students of the Year (SOY) is a seven-week campaign where high-schoolers join together to raise money to help fund the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS). Over the duration of the campaign, teams from across the country compete to raise the most money by the end of the seven weeks. The goal of this campaign is not only to raise money for cancer treatment, but to also inform others about LLS’ mission and to educate people on blood cancers including Leukemia. LLS seeks to ease the life of patients and families during their journey. With your help we can give LLS the tools to succeed in funding treatment for blood cancers. 

My journey throughout the planning of this campaign has led me to grow and learn so much as a person. I first joined Students of the Year to help make a difference in the lives of those affected by blood cancers but this quickly became an eye opening experience. LLS allowed me to connect with blood cancer patients who shared their touching stories and expressed their appreciation for this student led campaign. I was able to educate myself on what LLS does to help cure blood cancers and fund treatment. Through corporate sponsorship meetings and managing my team, I was able to move out of my comfort zone. LLS is truly an amazing organization and participating in their Students of the Year campaign has presented me with many new opportunities that I’ll be forever grateful for.  

Please consider donating, it can help save many lives!
