Student Visionaries of the Year San Diego

Kourosh Sadr | Team Answer for Cancer

Kourosh's Student Visionaries of the Year Fundraiser

Jan 31, 2023

Hello! This is Kourosh Sadr. I am a senior at Canyon Crest Academy.

 

My dad frequently tells me how great of a brother, and overall person, my uncle was. He tells me stories of them running around and playing in their house. I never got to meet him because he passed away from leukemia before I was born. His name was Kourosh Sadr. Because I was named after him, I feel that I should honor him by raising money to prevent other families from having to experience this tragedy.

I have been nominated as a candidate for the 2023 Student Visionaries Campaign for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS). This is a seven-week fundraising campaign that lasts from January 26th - March 17th. My team, Answer for Cancer and I are working hard so that we can help future generations meet their uncles too.

 

The reason I am writing you today is to ask for your support of our team, Answer for Cancer, by making a generous donation to LLS via my fundraising site https://events.lls.org/sd/svoysd23/ksadrz. All donations are 100% tax-deductible! The LLS’s Tax ID # is 13-5644916.

 

So why LLS? Well LLS has many accomplishments, clearly showing what an impact the money I raise will make. In the past, they have raised over 1 Billion dollars total in cancer research. In the last decade, over 40% of cancer treatments and drugs have come from LLS funded research, which is not only used to treat blood cancer patients, but also those affected by other cancers and diseases, like breast and liver cancers, multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer’s disease-

 

As our name suggests, team Answer for Cancer is dedicated to finding a CURE! I know that times are difficult financially right now, but cancer will not rest, so neither will my team and I. We appreciate any contribution no matter how big or small. Everything helps. Thank you very much for your generosity and for joining us in making an impact!

 

Additionally, if you are as passionate and moved by this cause as we are, and want to find even more ways that you can help us reach our goal, or even exceed it, please contact me! My email is: kouroshssadr@gmail.com

 

Sincerely,

Kourosh Sadr

P.S. Does your company have a matching gift program that might be willing to match your donation? Please reach out to me if they do.
