Before we started Student of the Year, we knew we wanted to make a difference. Whether  it was personally or to a whole group. But we weren’t sure where to start. And because of the COVID-19 pandemic, we were restricted from going out and physically making a difference. By starting another chapter of SOY at Independence High School, our team could help the families involved in the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. 

We both have personal connections to people who have been affected by cancer, and that motivated and inspired us to help others who are going through the same thing. The Independence Team Tigers Tackle Cancer’s mission is to fundraise money for LLS, supporting loved ones of cancer patients and survivors, and most importantly, raise awareness for this cause that affects millions of people around the world. At the end of the day, cancer is a battle. Those fighting it need support and By forming a community, we can help each other to work towards a common goal: fighting cancer.

Please join me in supporting The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) by making a donation to my fundraising campaign. Thanks to your support, my efforts, will help fund the therapies and treatments and help save lives today.

LLS's continued advancements over the years, are responsible for the blood cancer survival rate doubling and tripling; in some cases, the survival rate has even quadrupled.

And many LLS supported therapies not only help blood cancer patients but are now used to treat patients with rare forms of stomach and skin cancers. They're even being tested in clinical trials for patients with a range of cancers including lung, brain, breast, pancreatic and prostate cancers. LLS funded drugs are now being tested for patients with other non-cancerous diseases like Diabetes, Rheumatoid Arthritis and Multiple Sclerosis.

We really are changing the face of blood cancer!

All donations are greatly appreciated and are tax deductible. They'll not only support LLS research but patient services, advocacy, public and professional education, and community services as well.

Please visit my Web site often and bring friends who would also like to donate!

On behalf of blood cancer patients everywhere I thank you for your support!
