Students of the Year Milwaukee
Alyssa Hoffmann | Dancers Against Cancer
Welcome to Alyssa Hoffmann's SOY Fundraising Page!
Meet our honored hero Harlow!
Welcome to Alyssa Hoffmann's SOY Fundraising Page!
I am honored to participate as a student of the year candidate for the 2020 Students of the Year program, a seven-week initiative in which select high school students from around the country participate in a fundraising competition to benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. I am proud to have been selected for such an amazing opportunity for such a great cause. I am raising critical dollars in honor of a young patient hero named Harlow who was diagnosed with leukemia at just 7 years old. After intense chemotherapy, a bone marrow transplant and numerous patient stays, she reached maintenance in June 2018. She finished treatment and rang the bell in December 2019! Each dollar is a vote. The candidate team that raises the most money at the end of the 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.
We really are changing the face of blood cancer!
All donations are greatly appreciated and are tax deductible. They'll not only support LLS-funded research but will help provide critical information and support for patients, and support advocacy for laws to ensure patients can access the care and treatments they need.
Please visit our website often and bring friends who would also like to donate!
On behalf of blood cancer patients everywhere, thank you for your support!

Thanks Alyssa for taking the time to represent these kids. Cancer is a frightening disease and it so heartbreaking to see children struggle. I am glad you are giving us the chance to donate funds to help. These organizations need monetary help in order to continue their work. Even small amounts can make a difference. Skip the Starbucks once a week and donate your savings at the end of the month! You won't notice the money gone and you will have done a great thing! It makes me feel good to do something to help as I don't have the time right now to be present with all the people that need attention in this world. Thank you, Alyssa and all the people who dedicate there time and love. Mary Ellen and John Hoffmann
