Students of the Year Cleveland
Lillian Patterson | Team No More Bad Blood
Welcome to Lilly Patterson's SOY Fundraising Page!
Some family traditions are worth keeping and being a part of, and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's 2020 Students of the Year campaign is definitely one of them! I was on my first LLS SoY team four years ago as a sixth grader (I had a bowling party with friends) and I have been on a team every year since. This year I am part of a collaborative effort of students from both Hathaway Brown School and Revere School. This is perfect for me, as a sophomore who attends Hathaway Brown while living in the Revere School district. I also think it is very fitting that we have set an extremely high goal for ourselves this campaign. I promise to keep you informed as we progress! For now, I am keeping you in suspense about our goal.
For me, this campaign is personal. It is about my Nana. Four years ago, my Nana was diagnosed with positive cold agglutinin, a blood borne autoimmune disease in which your antibodies attack and destroy your red blood cells causing severe anemia. It is an LLS funded chemotherapy treatment used as an immunotherapy that made my Nana better four years ago. My Nana is currently undergoing her second round of treatment and we are praying for the same outcome.
Here are some things I think you should know about the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and our chapter here in Northeast Ohio:
- 40% of all new FDA approved cancer treatments between 2000 and 2017 were FIRST approved to treat blood cancers
- 79.5 cents of every dollar raised goes to impact our mission: treatment, research, patient and family support
- in the past three years, our chapter has invested $3 million in research in Northeast Ohio
- last year, $1.9 million was given in co-pay assistance in Northeast Ohio
Everyone has heard the tagline, "Fighting Cancer is in our blood." It sounds catchy, it sounds cool, but it's true. Cancers almost always metastasize through the blood stream, when we stop this, we stop the spread. Join me and help stop cancer.
My biggest event will be in my family home, Friday March 6th. A euchre fundraiser. All food and beverage included. There are prizes for highest score, lowest score, most loaner hands and individual loaner hand prizes. A suggested donation of $75 secures your seat. 100% tax deductible donation and my parents will feed and water you all night. Join us. I will be your waitress! When you make a donation write "euchre" in the comment section, or contact me or my parents. Space is limited to 40 players.
I will also be selling raffle tickets for a dinner for 10 people in our home. I have 75 raffle tickets each for a suggested donation of $50.
February 13th - 11 am to 9 pm Choolaah Indian Barbeque 27100 Chagrin Blvd say "TEAM NO MORE BAD BLOOD!" 30% donated
February 15th - Chipotle Montrose 5 pm to 9 pm SHOW FLYER or say LLS

There will be another 'sip n shop' at Lilly Pulitzer at Legacy Village all day Saturday Febuary 29th.
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 in addition to supporting advocacy for laws to ensure patients can access the care and treatments they need.
Please visit our website often to check on our progress and to see if I add any events!
On behalf of blood cancer patients, my Nana, my family and me; I thank you for your support!
