Students of the Year Newport
Bad to the Bone Marrow | Bad to the Bone Marrow's Campaign Team
Welcome to Bad to the Bone Marrow's 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!

We recently lost our dear brother Brian; a wonderful charitable successful guy. The three siblings were a team. His only stain was he went to Miami. I went to Boston College with Ava Santamaria’s father Alan. There we became friends with Fred Smerlas. Brian then went to Miami and became friends with Jim Kelly. When both made it to NFL they became teammates. Although Brian and I subsequently had a real rivalry with The “Hail Mary” we were still always a team except he never paid me that wager we had. He was very involved with many charities and would give you anything but with me he wouldn’t pay that bet. Hearing about Ava’s focus, passion and dedication to this cause with her team. I came up with an idea. Ava gave up personal gains and responsibilities for the sake of her team. Therefore Brian in your memory I’m paying your bet forward to this wonderful cause. I don’t think it includes inflation but if we can help one person then we carry on your act of giving Love Jim & Lauren
