LLS Students of the Year Campaign

HOLY CROSS STUDENTS PARTICIPATE IN LLS STUDENT OF THE YEAR CAMPAIGN

The Academy of the Holy Cross had two teams participate in The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) Students of the Year campaign this year.

The 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 to raise funds for LLS during the 7-week competition between January and March.

The Red Elephants raised over $191,000, which earned the team two Top Fundraiser Awards.
