Welcome to Kobe Ross' SOY Fundraising Page!
Hello There,
My name is Kobe Ross and I am very grateful for you taking the time to visit my page and possibly donate. I personally feel its important to know who you are giving too and to have a personal connection when donating. So, a little bit about me, I've recently moved to Florida from Illinois, a big challenge that I've been facing is learning more about my community and meeting others, but SOTY has helped me tremendously, giving me a purpose in my new home and helping me reach out to others. I am currently a Student at Allen D. Nease High School, I am in 11th grade, at school I participate in Wrestling and Tennis and am part of the french club. Outside of school I enjoy my loving family and friends along with video games, television, and litterature. When I found out about this program and the amazing things it does for families, I immediately wanted to be involved, giving back to your community and to others is very important to me, and I am so thankful that SOTY has allowed me to do that. Thank you for visiting my page and thank you in advance for your donation.
kindest regards,
Kobe Ross
(I'm in the middle, this is where I first heard of SOTY and where this amazing journey begun)
Welcome to Kobe Ross' SOY Fundraising Page!
I am honored to participate as a team member for the 2020 Students of the Year program, a seven-week initiative in which select high school students from around the country participate in a fundraising competition to benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. I am proud to support my candidate and am raising critical dollars in honor of a young patient hero who is currently battling or is in remission from a blood cancer. Each dollar is a vote. The candidate team that raises the most money at the end of the seven weeks is named Student of the Year. Our mission is to not only 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.
Since the early 1960s, five-year survival rates for many blood cancer patients have doubled, tripled or even quadrupled. And many LLS supported therapies not only help blood cancer patients but are helping patients with other cancers and serious diseases. In fact, drugs first approved for blood cancers are now approved to treat patients with stomach cancers, skin cancers, and autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis.
We really are changing the face of blood cancer!
All donations are greatly appreciated and are tax deductible. They'll not only support LLS-funded research but will help provide critical information and support for patients, and support advocacy for laws to ensure patients can access the care and treatments they need.
Please visit our website often and bring friends who would also like to donate!
On behalf of blood cancer patients everywhere, thank you for your support!
