Sophia Kalimian | Coming for Cancer

Sophia's Students of the Year Fundraiser

Dec 16, 2021

My name is Sophia Kalimian, and I am in 10th grade at the Hewitt School in New York City. Thank you for visiting my fundraising page, all donations are appreciated! This is my second year being a part of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society community, and I am thrilled to work for such an amazing cause. Last year, I was a team member for my school team where we collectively raised over 50,000 dollars! This year, I am honored to be a co-candidate for my own team, and I hope that by working with LLS I will continue to be able to make a positive impact on people with blood cancer. The LLS mission is to cure many different types of blood cancers such as leukemia and lymphoma. Investing $1.3 billion in research, LLS is the largest funder of research to advance cures. I was drawn to LLS because a close family member of mine was diagnosed with cancer a few years ago, and because I aspire to pursue a career in the medical field. My team’s goal this year is to help raise funds for child blood cancer and financial aid for patients in need of cancer treatments. All donations go to finding a cure for blood cancers, awareness, research, and more! Every bit helps! I hope you decide to donate to this cause, and join us on our mission to cure blood cancer!
