Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Collegiate of the Year campaign is a fundraising competition among full time bachelor, masters or doctorate students under the age of 26. Students may compete individually or as a team of two or three co-candidates. While each candidate conducts their own campaign, all candidates are united by one goal: to use their leadership skills to raise funds to help blood cancer patients live longer and more fulfilling lives.

By accepting the nomination, candidates will have 7 weeks, beginning the day of Kickoff (February 21st – April 12th), to accumulate the most “votes.” Every dollar raised counts as one vote. The candidate who raises the most votes during the campaign will be awarded a scholarship and be named the chapter’s Collegiate of the Year at the Grand Finale.

Candidates run in honor of the Boy & Girl of the Year, Jack & Maja, who are local blood cancer patient survivors and sources of inspiration. The Boy & Girl of the Year represent the thousands of patients that have been helped by LLS’s patient services and research.
