Students of the Year Sacramento
Emily Asmus | Team REDEEM's Campaign Team
Welcome to Emily Asmus' SOY Fundraising Page!
We are changing the face of blood cancer! Welcome to the movement :)
I am honored to participate as a team member for the 2020 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. I am proud to support my candidate and am raising critical dollars in honor of a young patient hero who is currently battling or is in remission from a blood cancer. Each dollar is a vote. The candidate team that raises the most money at the end of the seven weeks is named Students of the Year. 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.
Five-year survival rates for many blood cancer patients have doubled, tripled or even quadrupled, since the early 1960s. 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.
All donations are greatly appreciated and are tax deductible, woo! 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.
We are trying to make a difference greater than just our community.
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!

In Memory of my Mother-in-law Janice Choquette. Janice was one of the nicest, sweetest and most beautiful people I’ve ever met in my life. In Loving Memory of Janice, who was loved by all. ps: the only reasonable explanation I could come up with to deal with her passing was, God must have needed a Angle!
