Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, Students of the Year Program, serving Queen Anne’s County

Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, Students of the Year Program, serving Queen Anne’s County: Rachel and Nicole Rickabaugh and Molly Kroeger, along with their peers, raised money in the seven week campaign to contribute to the $800,000 in total funds raised statewide. The money raised went directly towards the mission of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, or LLS, which is to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma, and to improve the quality of life of patients and their families. Events were held across Queen Anne’s County and Talbot County, collecting life-saving funds for this amazing program through the generosity of the community. The Students of the Year program allowed Rachel, Nicole, and Molly, to learn many valuable life lessons, as well as the large impact that a single person can have on an entire community.  A donation from each of the 50 states was collected, meaning that not only were the local counties reached in their efforts, but the entire United States. Through almost a year’s worth of work, they reached many goals and major accomplishments, including receiving the Mission Integration award at the Grand Finale event wrapping up the 2022 LLS Students of the Year campaign. Team Answer 4 Cancer raised a total of $45,243, crushing their goal of $40,000.
