Leukemia & Lymphoma Society "Students of the Year" Campaign (By Courtney Kenefick, Communications Associate)

Kate Marcus '23 and Campbell Earley '23 share a common bond: they both lost a grandparent to blood cancer. Together they wanted to raise awareness of this rare cancer and celebrate the lives of the ones they loved. They reached out to The Leukemia Society.
 
Their fundraising journey spanned seven weeks. Campbell and Kate hit the ground running in early December. They started by making phone calls, setting up meetings, reaching out to friends and family, and sending many emails with their mission in mind.
 
In a few short weeks, they began reaching their goal.  Ecstatic, they then reached out to corporations for donor matching and in total raised $12,000!
 
The Leukemia Society was so impressed with these young women that they awarded them with their "Students of the Year Award" to thank them for not only raising awareness of this rare blood cancer but for making such an impact on finding a cure.
