Ava's Students of the Year Fundraiser

Jan 26, 2021

     We often ask ourselves during tmes of struggle: What can I do to help? What can I do to help my friends or my family? However, once this struggle is over, this effort of helping others immediately stops. What people forget is that there are always people in need of help. 

     One way to help others would be through utilizing the Gift of Giving. The GIft of Giving is often overlooked, or pushed aside as time consuming or ineffective. Think to yourself: when was the last time you used the Gift of Giving? Did you give somebody a compliment? Did you give a family member or close friend a gift? Did you give yourself time to take care of yourself? Now, think about others who may need more than just a compliment, a gift, or time for self-care. Some people need the groundbreaking research to be conducted to understand what is occuring in their body. Some people need more time; more time to live life and spend time with their families. Some people need a cure. You could provide this for those people through a donation. Any donation, from one cent to one thousand dollars is crucial in the process of finding a cure for cancer. Contribute to the fight against cancer today by using the Gift of Giving.

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!
