Sarah's Students of the Year Fundraiser

Mar 05, 2021

Hi Everyone!! 

 

I hope you are doing well, and your family is safe (from the snowstorm!) 

The campaign date has been EXTENDED!!! to Saturday, March 27th!!

We are so grateful that we have MORE time to fundraise:)))

Our new goal is $50,000! Let's spread the word and reach that goal! Raising $50,000 isn't just a lot of money, but it will link our team's name (We are One) to an LLS research porfololio!! 

***if you know of any potential SPONSORS or any businesses that would be interested in donating an auction item please let us know:))) 

 

Let's make a difference together! <3333

More than Halfway!!

Hi Everyone!! 

I just wanted to say thank you! Thank you for the past few weeks for supporting our team! We are so grateful to be surrounded by such supportive and generous people! I have to say, this journey has been hard; From waiting and anticipating funds to learning to communicate with larger cooperations for sponsorships! From many yes's to some no's, I have learned so much! I have learned so much about myself- my strengths and weaknesses, what brings me joy, and how exactly to approach people! It has been so amazing to see the community help out! From our school supporting our campaign to my neighbors and friends nearby. But when I get discouraged or down about our campaign- because that does happen:), I am reminded about WHY I am doing this! 

 

Every dollar counts! That is the best part! SO I just wanted to say THANK YOU:)) Thank you for your support! We can't say thank you enough <3333 

Here are some pictures of us hanging up signs and our journey throughout this campaign!! 

Let's keep IT UP!! Keep sharing and lets make it to $25,000!!!

Hi Everyone!! 

What a crazy year it has been! I hope that you and your families are staying safe during this time! This year has thrown many obstacles in front of me personally, but it has also opened up new opportunities that I am privileged to be a part of!! 

Welcome to my fundraising page!! 

LLS is an organization that focuses on educating and aiding patients and their families as they put up a fight against blood cancer. What I love about this organization is that LLS not only is advancing and investing funds towards curing cancer through research, but they also are striving to personally assist patients and give guidance and hope to families.

And many LLS supported therapies not only help blood cancer patients but are now used to treat patients with rare forms of stomach and skin cancers. They're even being tested in clinical trials for patients with a range of cancers including lung, brain, breast, pancreatic and prostate cancers. LLS funded drugs are now being tested for patients with other non-cancerous diseases like Diabetes, Rheumatoid Arthritis and Multiple Sclerosis.

1 John 4:9

“We love because He first loved us.” 

I wanted to share a small verse that is the backbone and inspiration to our campaign! My co-candidate Lizzie and I believe this verse exemplifies our purpose in life and how we should live each day. It encourages us and reminds us of the love that we want to show others through our life. 

This verse has particularly challenged me this past year to love others just as I have been loved by God. Our hope is that this message of love can be conveyed throughout our campaign! We hope that others may feel loved during this challenging time!

There are a few ways you can support my fundrasing efforts: 

1. DONATE via this page!

2. Share my message and this link with your contacts via email or social media

3. Help me secure a corporate sponsorhip (Sponsorships start at $5,000 and sponsors receive benefits at the Grand Finale Celebration) 

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

 

Thank you again for taking the time to learn more about LLS and the SOY campaign! 

If you are interested in donating or have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me! :)) 

On behalf of blood cancer patients everywhere I thank you for your support!

Thank you and take care:)
