Cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease, and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families. This is our national mission.

Formerly the iconic Students of the Year campaign, Student Visionaries of the Year is a groundbreaking philanthropic leadership development program for high school students. Every year, courageous young leaders embark on an exciting 7-week journey with the goal to create a world without blood cancers, striving to earn the Student Visionary of the Year title. We educate students on key leadership skills such as marketing, networking, fundraising, and collaboration. During these 7-weeks, they compete against each other to raise funds for the many research and advocacy programs that LLS has to offer. At the end of the 7-weeks, we honor their efforts at our Grand Finale gala. The students help raise money there through auction items and fund the fights before the grand total and winner are revealed.
