Palmer Trinity School (PTS) student, Victoria Cordero, has been selected as a candidate for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) 2021 Students of the Year campaign.

The campaign is a national seven-week challenge through which high school student leaders raise funds and awareness for the fight against blood cancers. The campaign begins Friday, February 5, 2021 and ends with a Grand Finale Celebration on Friday, March 26, 2021. The funds that are raised benefit the LLS mission: to find a cure for leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma, and to improve the quality of life of patients and their families.

Since 2016, the campaign has raised more than $74 million for blood cancer research, patient aid and community outreach programs. Cordero was also a participant of the Students of the Year Program last year and contributed to the more than $30.3 million was raised by high school students throughout the country.

Each student participating in the Southern Florida Market’s annual scholarship and fundraising challenge was nominated by The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Board of Trustees, Leadership Team, school administrator or staff member for their amazing leadership and passion to find a cure for blood cancers and involvement in their community.

“This a truly an elite group! We can count ourselves lucky to have Victoria Cordero as part of this campaign to represent Palmer Trinity High School,” states Deann Hazey, Executive Director of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s South Florida region.
