SUPPORT ALUMNI IN THEIR CAMPAIGN FOR THE LEUKEMIA & LYMPHOMA SOCIETY

For nominee Tia Piziali '17, a junior at Georgetown Day, fighting for this cause is personal. "Many of you know that my family and I have been fighting hard to cure my rare disease, PKU. However, I have decided to expand my advocacy and focus on a disease that I have not personally suffered from. I am fundraising in honor of my good friend and leukemia-survivor Jordan Cushner and in memory of my cousin Tommy whose life was taken by blood cancer."

Charlotte Khuzami '17, also a junior at Georgetown Day, expressed that she is "both honored and excited to become part of the journey towards a cure for blood cancers." Charlotte and Tia both ask our communities to support them within their capacities. They are striving to secure a corporate sponsorship and donations of silent auction items that can be used for the Grand Finale Gala, and each has a goal of raising $50,000 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. 

Laila White '17 and her team of five members, including Katherine Moe '17 and Olivia Carnot '17, all juniors at Madeira, have the goal of raising $100,000 for the campaign. Laila is also honored to lead this amazing team of young women "because I am able to demonstrate that the youth can make change happen and that there are bigger problems than ourselves."
