Dear family and friends,

I am currently a junior at Georgetown Visitation. I am an avid advocate for fighting childhood cancer, and I am participating in S.W.A.T.6.0 in honor of my 10 year old cousin, Charlie, who was cured from leukemia in 2017.

S.W.A.T.6.0 has worked hard on our campaign, and I am proud to be a part of such a great team! Our goal is to raise $90,000 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and we are committed to reaching it.

​​​​​​​Please join S.W.A.T.6.0 in the fight to end blood cancer and donate!​​​​​​​

I am honored to be a candidate for S.W.A.T.6.0 and to be participating in The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) 2023 Students of the Year (SVOY) campaign. SVOY is a seven-week initiative in which high school leader's across the country participate in a competition to fundraiser for LLS's mission: to find a cure for leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma, and to improve the quality of life of patients and their families. 

Students of the Year raises funds in honor of those who are currently battling or are in remission for blood cancer. I am fundraising in honor of my cousin Charlie (10) who was diagnosed with Leukemia in 2013 and was cured in 2017. I can't imagine how much Charlie suffered through cancer and I want my campaign to help other children and families in similar situations. Charlie has inspired me to join Students of the Year to make a difference in the lives of children battling cancer. 

At the end of the seven weeks of fundraising, the team that raises the most money is named Students of the Year. As a team, our mission is not only to raise the most money but also to bring attention to blood cancers like leukemia, which is the most common form of cancer in children and teens. Our teams goal is to raise $90,000 dollars and we appreciate you helping in any way you can!

S.W.A.T.6.0 hopes to strengthen our communication skills through our philanthropic efforts and to share out cause with those around us. No matter how large or small, every donation is a step closer to a cure.
