Students of the Year Idaho

Welcome to Maisen Sauer's SOY Fundraising Page!

Thank you for taking the time to visit my fundraising page!

Every three minutes in the United States, someone is diagnosed with blood cancer, and every nine minutes, someone loses their battle with this terrible disease. Every three minutes someone's world is changed drastically through receiving what is possibly the worst news of their lives.  These people need somewhere to turn for help and support, this is where LLS comes in. 

I am honored to participate as a team member for the 2019 Students of the Year program, a seven-week initiative in which select high school students from around the country participate in a fundraising competition to benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.  Our mission is to not only raise the most money but also to bring attention to blood cancers like leukemia, which is the most common form of cancer in children and teens.

Since the early 1960s, five-year survival rates for many blood cancer patients have doubled, tripled or even quadrupled. And many LLS supported therapies not only help blood cancer patients but are helping patients with other cancers and serious diseases. In fact, drugs first approved for blood cancers are now approved to treat patients with stomach cancers, skin cancers, and autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis.

Your contribution can and will change the lives of many now, and for years to come. 

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, and support advocacy for laws to ensure patients can access the care and treatments they need.

Please visit our website often and bring friends who would also like to donate!

On behalf of blood cancer patients everywhere, thank you for your support!
