Katelyn's Student Visionaries of the Year San Diego Fundraiser

Nov 18, 2023

Dear friends and family,

 

In one way or another, people all around the world have been personally affected by cancer. I have watched people close to my heart struggle with the loss of loved ones and the effects this illness has on our community. This personally has inspired me to join the fight against cancer.

 

I have teamed up with Student Visionaries of the Year, a campaign by The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS).  This group has brought together students in honor of raising money to help fight blood-borne cancers. My team's name is Answer for Cancer and all of the teams compete for seven weeks to raise the most amount of money for LLS. My goal this year is $1000 and the campaign dates are January 26th to March 15th.

 

I am reaching out to you to ask for your help by making a generous donation to LLS via my fundraising website: [https://events.lls.org/sd/svoysd24/KJensen]. (Each donation is 100% tax deductible. LLS’s tax ID is 13-5644916.)

 

The donations are used by LLS to help find cures and ensure access to treatments for all blood cancer patients. Specifically, LLS has invested over $1.5B in groundbreaking research to advance breakthrough therapies for blood cancer patients. LLS is the leading source of free blood cancer information, education, and patient support. LLS is the voice for blood cancer patients and survivors today with over 100,000 volunteer advocates mobilized across the U.S. 

 

As a global leader in the fight against blood cancer, LLS:

- Funds cutting-edge research leading to breakthroughs in immunotherapy, genomics and personalized medicine that are improving and saving the lives of patients
- Provides free education and support for blood cancer patients and families, including personalized, one-on-one support, assistance with identifying and enrolling in clinical trials, and more.
- Mobilizes thousands of advocates to drive policy changes that accelerate the development of new cancer treatments and break down barriers to care.

 

Thank you so much for your time and help!

 

Sincerely, 

Katelyn Jensen

P.S. Does your company have a matching gift program that might be willing to match your donation?

    Tommy was 6 years old when he passed away from leukemia in the 1950's. We are so pleased to support the LLS and all they are doing for this type of cancer today.
