Students of the Year Columbia
Lily Schoolmeester | Lily's Leaders for a Cure
Welcome to Lily Schoolmeester's SOY Fundraising Page! Lily's Leaders for a CURE!
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. 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 Student 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.
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.
We really are changing the face of blood cancer!
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!

Dear Lily, thank you for this fundraising effort you're doing! Because of LLS and people like you, I'm alive today. LLS helped support the development of Gleevec, the first targeted therapy in cancer treatment, made available in 2001. I've been on it for 17 years, and would likely not have survived my Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia otherwise. Thank you again -- you're a marvelous young lady! Love, Amy
