Students of the Year Charleston
Maggie Colie | Team Barbie
Welcome to Maggie Colie's SOY Fundraising Page!
I am honored to participate as a candidate 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 Last year, I was a team member for this program on my friend´s team, Team Barbie. Throughout the seven weeks, we spread awareness in the community, learned a lot about leadership and teamwork, and gained many valuable life skills. Last year´s campaign as well as seeing the struggle of friends and family with these cancers first hand has inspired me to continue Team Barbie´s legacy in hopes of honoring the people and their families who have to deal with the daily stress and repercussions of leukemia and lymphoma. I am proud to contribute to such a worthy cause. 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!
