Team's Student Visionaries of the Year Fundraiser
Visionaries look to the future—and see infinite possibility.
They challenge the status quo—and make the impossible possible.
They boldly imagine a better world – and lead the charge to create it.
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society was built on that same vision - of a better world - one without blood cancers.
Â
We are Team Crusading 4 Cures, and we are passionate about raising money for blood cancer research. This year, we are proud to be a part of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Student Visionaries of the Year Campaign, working to raise as much as possible for LLS’s mission. To do so, we need your help!

We're doing this in honor of Izzie, who is currently battling cancer from right here in New Jersey. On Super bowl Sunday 2023, Izzie’s symptoms began. After initial blood work at her pediatrician, they were rushed to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. On February 16, 2023, at age 4, she was officially diagnosed with T-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. After initially responding well to treatment, Izzie developed infections in her knee and back, that required her to be re-hospitalized. After those cleared, they remained in quarantine at home for 3 months. Today, Izzie is currently in maintenance treatment and goes to the doctor monthly while taking oral chemotherapy at home. She started Kindergarten this fall. She is a ‘Swifty’ with a big personality, who also loves arts and crafts, We, as a team, are motivated by Izzie’s journey and we’re going to work hard in her honor!
