Magnolia Roth | Coming for Cancer

Magnolia's Students of the Year Fundraiser

Dec 03, 2021

Hi, my name is Magnolia Roth, and I am in 9th grade at the Hewitt School in New York City. Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) Students of the Year (SOY) fundraising website! This is my first year volunteering for LLS and I am incredibly excited for the 2022 Students of the Year campaign.

SOY is a 7-week philanthropic leadership development program in which high school students from across the country compete to raise funds to benefit LLS. The LLS mission is to “cure Leukemia, Lymphoma, Hodgkin’s Disease and Myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families.” Investing $1.3 billion, LLS is the largest funder of research to advance cures. Additionally, their new treatments discovered through blood cancer research are now being tested in clinical trials for other cancers. 

As you know, everyone wins when cancer loses. Thanks to your support, my efforts will help fund therapies and treatments that are saving lives. Over the years, support from people like you has been responsible for the blood cancer advancements that have doubled, tripled, and in some cases quadrupled the survival rate for some blood cancers.

Since attending Hewitt, I've been motivated to give back to the community and help those in need. I chose to be part of this program to help fund and raise awareness for those negatively impacted by blood cancer. I was drawn to LLS because of a personal connection to someone who struggled with cancer. I feel that I can learn a lot from this experience and help so many people in doing so. LLS is an amazing organization, and the Students of the Year Campaign is a wonderful way for me, and others like me, to help individuals who have been diagnosed with blood cancer. All my efforts go toward finding a cure. LLS’s research saves lives and your donations bring us one step closer to the cure. The money I raise will help fund research, develop a cure, and help families as much as possible. I am so lucky to be a part of it and you can be too! You can help by raising awareness or donating to my page. Any amount counts and is greatly appreciated! Thank you so much for your help and support, and don’t forget to share my page with your family and friends!
