Armor Up'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.
We're Janiah King and El Strope, leaders of Team Armor Up. We're both Juniors at West Career and Technical Academy, in the Digital Media and Engineering programs, respectively. We are also visionaries; we have a vision for a world without cancer, but we need your help.
This year, we're 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.
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.
Our chosen mission pillar is advocacy. LLS is relentless, agile, and determined to effect meaningful change in the fight against blood cancers and has raised its voice to put patients and families at the center of everything it does. It has empowered a network of more than 35,000 volunteers nationwide to advocate for state and federal policies that improve the lives of patients and survivors.
When you make a donation, $0.81 on the dollar is goes towards LLS's mission. This means funding for continuous cancer research, patient support, and advocacy! Not only this, but it benefits you as well! If you make a large enough donation, you can become a Presenting ($75,000), Platinum ($40,000), Gold ($25,000), Silver ($15,000), or Bronze ($10,000) Sponsor! You can also join the Hero Circle with a donation of $5,000! With donations of these levels, you receive benefits ranging from representation in LLS media, logo recognition, tickets to the Grand Finale Celebration, and more!
Please consider joining this fight by making a donation. All donations are greatly appreciated and tax-deductible. Please visit our website often and tell friends who would also like to donate!
Thanks to your support, our efforts will help ensure this generation is the last to see cancer.
On behalf of blood cancer patients everywhere, thank you!
