This year, we are proud to be a part of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Student Visionaries of the Year Campaign, where we are working to raise as much as possible for LLS’s mission.

We have volunteered our time to be a part of Score the Cure, led by Sasha Meier and August Fischer, and together we have a fundraising goal of $35,000. Our goal is to raise $35,000! The money we raise helps LLS fund research to advance lifesaving treatments, drive advocacy for policies that protect patient access to these treatments, and provide patients and families with hope, guidance, education, and support. Our candidate team is particularly passionate about Patient Support and will be representing this area of LLS during our team’s campaign. 

LLS works to provide patients with hope, guidance, education, and support when it’s needed most, so no one has to face cancer alone. Their financial assistance programs provide a crucial lifeline for blood cancer patients and their families. In 2021 alone, LLS provided $241 million in financial assistance to over 42,000 patients. For over two decades, LLS Information Specialists – highly trained oncology professionals – have been on the front lines of an ever-changing healthcare landscape, guiding patients and caregivers to our trusted education and support services. Last year, LLS Information Specialists responded to 26,000 inquiries from patients and caregivers, working to help in any way they can.
