You’re Invited!
Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Student Visionaries of the Year presentation
November 15 at 6:30 p.m. at Class 101
All are welcome. Please RSVP to kderosa@class101.com
Students Visionaries of the Year is a seven-week philanthropic leadership development program during which students foster professional skills such as entrepreneurship, marketing, and project management in order to raise funds for LLS. Top local fundraisers become eligible to win the national title. The students raise money in honor of local patients who are currently battling or are in remission from a blood cancer. Over the last five years, many Class 101 students have led or participated on teams. This is a great chance to demonstrate leadership, develop important skills, and build your service hours and resume in meaningful ways. We hope many families will join us to learn more on November 15. Please RSVP to Karen at kderosa@class101.com by November 14. 

All Class 101 students can earn service hours and build their resumes
