Student Visionaries of the Year Washington DC

Alexandra's Student Visionaries of the Year Washington DC Fundraiser
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.
I chose to take part in the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Student Visionaries Program because of my interest in the healthcare industry. LLS has invested more than $1.6 billion in research over the past 70 years. Healthcare research creates opportunities for advancements in medical knowledge which lead to the development of treatments and therapies. My goal while raising money is to learn about the process of medical research and patient care. LLS supports families in so many different ways and I want to join them in that process.
Our goal as a team is to receive two $50,000 research grants by March 2nd. To reach this goal we need your help!
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 donating. 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!
