They assembled a team, named Columbia Kicks Cancer, with a goal of raising donations to improve medical research for blood cancer patients. Their mission is to contribute to a cure for cancer.
The campaign was launched yesterday with a Pasta Kickoff Dinner at the Phillips Road Firehouse. Other fundraisers will include:
- 5th Grade Graduation Lawn Signs
- EGBA Concession Stand Sundays
- Unstoppable nutrition fundraisers
- Calendar raffle
- Football squares
- Bunker Golf event
- Lacrosse Clinic
- Chipotle Dine to Donate
Donations can be made online at the Columbia Kicks Cancer donation page.
About the Students of the Year Fundraising Campaign
The Students of the Year campaign is a philanthropic leadership development program through which highly motivated, high-school leaders embark on a journey of professional growth, ensuring that they stand out when preparing for college and beyond. During the program, students foster professional skills such as entrepreneurship, marketing, and project management in order to raise funds for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS). Student leaders fundraise for LLS in honor of children who are blood cancer survivors. The title Student(s) of the Year is awarded to the candidate or co-candidate team in each community that raises the most funds during the 7-week competition.
