Kenny's Student of the Year Fundraiser

Mar 18, 2021

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page, welcome!

I want to share WHY I want to raise money for this incredible organization! The fuel that keeps my fire going is my friend, Quinn. Quinn was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma last September. He’s a great friend through school, orchestra, cross country and lacrosse.  Quinn is my personal reason why I want to be a part of this campaign! I am also incredibly honored to represent our community and ALL who fight against blood cancers!

All Students of the Year candidates are working incredibly hard and are hopeful to raise a large amount of money for this important cause. I’d like to ask for your support! Any donation towards this campaign is a huge help! The money that you donate will be put towards research, as well as finding new treatment plans for blood cancer patients. LLS helped advance 60 of the 71 blood cancer treatment options approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration just since 2017! They are doing amazing things!

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!
