Sydney's Students of the Year Fundraiser

Jan 19, 2021

Hi! My name is Sydney Newcomer and I am a sophomore at Memorial High School! When Janie, Chloe, and Sofia mentioned to me that they were candidates for the Student of the Year campaign, I was so excited for them! I wanted to get involved, so when they asked if I wanted to be on their team, I was ecstatic!

Cancer is very close to my heart, because my dad's father passed away in 1996, before I was even born. He had a Glioblastoma, which is a cancerous tumor that developed in his brain. My mom's father and mother have been diagnosed with different types of cancer this year, which luckily have not been too serious. My grandmother had breast cancer as well as melanoma, but fought through and beat them both! My grandfather also had melanoma and his father passed away from leukemia.

I was pulled to be a part of the Students of the Year campaign because I wanted to raise awareness for Leukemia and Lymphoma. By spreading this awareness, people can get involved and support us by donating money that will be used in multipe different ways. The money can aid hospital costs, parking and transportation costs, and a new one this year, COVID-19 costs.

My personal goal is to raise $10,000 between January 14th and March 5th. It’s a lofty goal, but I am willing to work hard to reach it. I cannot do it alone. If you would like to help, here are a few ways you can support my fundraising efforts: 

      1. Donate via my personal fundraising page: Please visit my fundraising website: 

          https://events.lls.org/txg/houstonsoy21/snewcomer                                                                                                                     

      2. Share my message & fundraising link with your contacts via email or social media

      3. Help me secure a corporate sponsorship (Sponsorships start at $5,000 and sponsors receive Gala benefits)

      4. Donate a silent auction item that can be used for the Grand Finale Gala auction

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page, welcome!

I encourage you to join me in supporting The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) by making a donation to my fundraising campaign. By donating to LLS, you support the many facets of LLS’s mission work from investing in groundbreaking research, providing education and support to patients, and advocating at the state and federal level for legislation to help those living with cancer. My appreciation for your support cannot be overstated — each and every dollar donated to LLS brings us closer to our goal to end blood cancer and makes an impact for cancer patients and their families.

As a global leader in the fight to end cancer, LLS is committed to doing more for blood cancer patients and families than any organization in the world. LLS’s signature fundraising campaigns drive critical support for its mission, including a nearly $1.3 billion investment in cutting edge cancer research worldwide since it was founded in 1949. Since the 1960s, survival rates for many blood cancer patients have doubled, tripled, or even quadrupled.

Every facet of LLS’s mission – research, education and support, and policy and advocacy – work in harmony to put blood cancer patients and their families first. LLS has helped millions impacted by cancer throughout its more than 70-year history, even funding breakthrough blood cancer research to advance lifesaving treatments and cures that is now helping patients with other cancers and diseases. That is why at LLS we say that beating cancer is in our blood.

Please visit my website as often as you can and share it with everyone you know who would also like to join us in the fight against cancer. Together, we have the power, the passion and the resolve to achieve a world without blood cancer. All donations are tax-deductible.

On behalf of cancer patients and their families everywhere, I sincerely thank you for your support!
