Jackie Prajka | Team Fighting Falcons 2.0
jackie's Student Visionaries of the Year Washington DC Fundraiser
Hi! My name is Jackie Prajka and I’m so excited to be a team member of Fighting Falcons as we raise money in the fight against blood cancer. You may know me through my school, dance, my neighborhood, parents or not really know me at all, but no matter what I’m so grateful you have decided to click on my page! By donating, you help the lives of so many men, women and children and make a positive difference in this world. I decided to dedicate my time to LLS and SVOY because my grandfather was diagnosed with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia. Thanks to a newly approved chemotherapy by LLS he is currently in remission. He is still not cured, and the cancer will likely return, but I’m grateful to have him in my life today! Since then, I have become more aware of the struggles in my own community with blood cancer impacting people of all ages. Therefore, it is my mission to raise money to help find a permanent solution to blood cancers to see a better and longer life for my grandpa and the many struggling similarly or more severely. Every dollar counts!
My grandpa and me!

Visionaries look to the future—and see infinite possibility.
They challenge the status quo—and make the impossible possible.
They boldly imagine a better world – and lead the charge to create it.
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society was built on that same vision - of a better world - one without blood cancers.
I am a visionary; I have a vision for a world without cancer, but I need your help.
This year, I’m proud to be a part of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Student Visionaries of the Year Campaign, working to raise as much as possible for LLS’s mission.
As a global leader in the fight against blood cancer, LLS:
- Funds cutting-edge research leading to breakthroughs in immunotherapy, genomics and personalized medicine that are improving and saving the lives of patients
- Provides free education and support for blood cancer patients and families, including personalized, one-on-one support, assistance with identifying and enrolling in clinical trials, and more.
- Mobilizes thousands of advocates to drive policy changes that accelerate the development of new cancer treatments and break down barriers to care.
Please consider joining this fight by making a donation. All donations are greatly appreciated and tax-deductible. Please visit my website often and tell friends who would also like to donate!
Thanks to your support, my efforts will help ensure this generation is the last to see cancer.
On behalf of blood cancer patients everywhere, thank you!
