Students of the Year Charleston
Ailish Ward | Hope for Change
Welcome to Ailish Ward's SOY Fundraising Page!
For the past 6 and a half weeks I have been fundraising for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) Students of the Year fundraising campaign. I was honored to be nominated as a candidate to help support LLS's mission. From January 25th to March 13th, my team’s goal was to raise $25,000 which will go directly to LLS in support of its longstanding mission to find cures and ensure patients access to the treatment they need. I only have 72 hours left of my campaign and I need your help! I am only $5,000 away from my goal and know that we can do this! Thank you again for those who have already supported and have helped me reach this part of my campaign. Remember, every dollar is a dollar closer to a cure.

Welcome To my Fundraising Page
Welcome to Ailish Ward's SOY Fundraising Page!
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 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!
