Walton and Wheeler students team up for Leukemia and Lymphoma Society fundraising

Thanks to Bhavini Rajan, an East Cobb resident, for information about her son’s ongoing fundraising project, along with Emma Mason, a junior at the Wheeler STEM magnet school. Here’s the appeal Anant Rajan, a Walton junior, is making to raise funds for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society through March 23, and it’s similar to another one involving Walton students we posted about last month:

I’m very excited to share with you that I am part of the 2019 Student of the Year campaign and I will be working to raise money and awareness for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) and their mission to find a cure for blood cancers.

It’s an honor to be a part of such an outstanding group of fellow students, but an even larger honor to be able to work for the patients, survivors and their families. I am fundraising in honor of Lauren Bass-Sanford, a shiningly brilliant girl who fought with blood cancer and came out the other side. We need to make this possible for more people, and we can only do that with your help! To learn more about why this cause is so important to me, watch THIS VIDEO.

My personal goal is to raise $40,000 between January 31st and March 23rd. It’s a lofty goal, but I am willing to work hard to reach it. I cannot do it alone, I need your help. There are a few ways you can support my fundraising efforts:

1. Donate via my personal fundraising page: https://events.lls.org/ga/AtlantaSOY19/tcambiamon
2. Share my message & fundraising link with your contacts via email or social media
3. Donate a silent auction item that can be used for the Grand Finale Gala auction
4. Help me secure a corporate sponsorship (Sponsorships start at $5,000 and sponsors receive Gala benefits)

Not only is this campaign a great way to support LLS and their life-saving work, but it’s a great leadership opportunity for me. Students receive scholarships based on our fundraising and awareness efforts. I am so excited to be able to make a difference in my community in this way.

Please note that we have organized a fundraiser event of Indian Classical Dance & Percussion on Sunday, 10th March 2019 at Hindu Temple of Atlanta – the details are in http://evite.me/eHMyNEH36V

Thank you for your generosity and support. Your donation truly makes a difference and with your help, we’re one step closer to a cure for blood cancers.

I can’t wait to share the exciting updates of the next six weeks with you. Stay tuned to see what my team and I are able to accomplish!

Sincerely,
Anant Rajan and Emma Mason
