Thank You for Visiting Our School's Fundraising Page!
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Pennies for Patients campaign is working with thousands of schools across the country to raise funds for blood cancer research--and we are one of them!
Our school has teamed up with LLS to create a world without cancer, and YOU can help our Squad make a difference in this journey.
Thanks to schools like US and donors like YOU, there are more children and adults surviving every day.
All donations are greatly appreciated and are tax-deductible. Donations support LLS research, patient services, advocacy, public and professional education, and community services.

Gracie Johnson is described by her teachers as a ray of sunshine. The high school senior had cancer at the age of three and at the age of five. She was treated with cranial radiation at the time, but she thought all of that was behind her….until one day, she had a seizure."I am in the very rare percent of getting a secondary cancer from that radiation," Gracie said. The seizure was caused by a brain tumor, she says was caused by the cranial radiation she received during her second bout with cancer.This new tumor is inoperable."Because of the type of cells that compose the tumor, they are spongy and not hard," Gracie said. "So operating can be more detrimental than what we have planned and laid out right now.""It actually digs into the brain, it's actually very, very smart - almost amazing in itself," Gracie said. "I believe that I am going to beat it and that's all I need to believe."
