We can't believe we are over halfway through the campaign.  We are so grateful for the support that we've received so far!  Every donation moves us closer to our fundraising goal and helps LLS fund valuable, life-saving research!

Hi all! We want to say THANK YOU for all the support and a special thanks to our team, who is working so hard on behalf! Did you see that Hannah Miller has raised over $1,000; Christy Perros has nearly met her match goal; and also a shout out to Matt Baer for organizing an event in Tucson! And we can't forget Alex Kasper and Jamie Yark for continuing to help us out! Abby, Abbie and Grace

 We (Abby Dewhirst, Abbie Westmeyer & Grace VanSlooten) are honored to participate in the 2019 Students of the Year program as part of Team Baskets for LLS. This campaign is 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 be raising critical dollars in honor of a young patient hero, Laila, 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!  The Grand Finale will be March 8th.  We'd love you to come.  Tickets available on our site.  Click on "Shop Our Store."

On behalf of blood cancer patients everywhere, thank you for your support!
