Students of the Year Honolulu
Nicole Sebastian | Team Damien
Welcome to Nicole Sebastian'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!

In 2018, I lost my girlfriend of four years to ovarian cancer. While not the same disease, I feel that any form of cancer needs to be scourged from existence. To accomplish this, we need more research into this horrible disease. Thank you.

My high school experience included the death of my cousin, who was 33 years old at the time, after a long battle against Lymphoma. His wife and children (5 and 3 at the time) were left to move on. However, Reid's wise financial choices the family was left with a sizable amount of money. With this money, they decided to emulate Reid's giving nature. They started the Reid Richards foundation (https://www.reidrichardsfoundation.com/our-story) and its been a part of our extended family for over 20 years. I pray that you continue to give as well Nicole :)
