Tanner's Students of the Year Fundraiser

Feb 04, 2021

Hi my name is Tanner Abbruzzese, and this year I am very excited to participate in the Student of the Year program. I am currently a Junior at Oakmont high school, and this will be my first year participating. I am on team Compassion for a Cure, and my personal goal this year is to raise over $1000. This money will go towards finding a cure for families affected by Leukemia, Lymphoma, Hodgkins disease, and Myeloma, which are different types of blood cancer. This campaign will start on Febuary 4 and end March 26. During this period my teamates and I are hoping to raise $30,000 in total.

My why,

This year my reason for joining and supporting LLS is because I am personally very connected to blood cancer. Back in 2017 I was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma at the age of 12. I had underwent Chemotherapy for 6 months with a total of 12 treatments. I had been treated by the best and most kind doctors at UCSF childrens hospital. During my battle I had seen so many children and families with such awful diseases, and it truly changed me as a person. I had also been battling cancer with my Grandma by my side recieving treatment to treat her lung cancer. We both had won our fight, and in the end I had recived a Make-A-Wish. Through my experience so many people had been by my side helping me through it, and now I want to give back to other families dealing with the same things I had to. So please if you could, help me support the families battling blood cancer by donating to my page so nobody has to deal with the things I had been through, and seen.

Every donation is greatly appreciated and are tax-deductible. There will be a confirmation email sent to you after donating. Please spread the word, and thank you for your support!

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page, welcome!

I encourage you to join me in supporting The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) by making a donation to my fundraising campaign. By donating to LLS, you support the many facets of LLS’s mission work from investing in groundbreaking research, providing education and support to patients, and advocating at the state and federal level for legislation to help those living with cancer. My appreciation for your support cannot be overstated — each and every dollar donated to LLS brings us closer to our goal to end blood cancer and makes an impact for cancer patients and their families.

As a global leader in the fight to end cancer, LLS is committed to doing more for blood cancer patients and families than any organization in the world. LLS’s signature fundraising campaigns drive critical support for its mission, including a nearly $1.3 billion investment in cutting edge cancer research worldwide since it was founded in 1949. Since the 1960s, survival rates for many blood cancer patients have doubled, tripled, or even quadrupled.

Every facet of LLS’s mission – research, education and support, and policy and advocacy – work in harmony to put blood cancer patients and their families first. LLS has helped millions impacted by cancer throughout its more than 70-year history, even funding breakthrough blood cancer research to advance lifesaving treatments and cures that is now helping patients with other cancers and diseases. That is why at LLS we say that beating cancer is in our blood.

Please visit my website as often as you can and share it with everyone you know who would also like to join us in the fight against cancer. Together, we have the power, the passion and the resolve to achieve a world without blood cancer. All donations are tax-deductible.

On behalf of cancer patients and their families everywhere, I sincerely thank you for your support!
