Hi there!! My name is Hypatia Newton, and I am a Freshman at Madison West High School. I am working with a team to raise as much money as possible through the 2020 Student of the Year program. All of the proceeds will go to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. The money will be used for blood cancer research, supporting cancer patients, and protecting laws that ensure that patients get the care they need. My team is fundraising in honor of a young Leukemia patient named Noah Sanger, a seven year old from Middleton.

The candidate team that raises the most money at the end of seven weeks is named Student of the Year. Our mission is to not only raise the most money but also to bring attention to blood cancers like leukemia, which is the most common form of cancer in children and teens.

Since the early 1960s, five-year survival rates for many blood cancer patients have doubled, tripled or even quadrupled. And many LLS supported therapies not only help blood cancer patients but are helping patients with other cancers and serious diseases. In fact, drugs first approved for blood cancers are now approved to treat patients with stomach cancers, skin cancers, and autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis.

All donations are greatly appreciated and are tax deductible. 

Every dollar counts!! It would mean so much to me if you would donate, even just a little bit!

Sincerely, 

Hypatia Newton
