This year, Bullis had an incredible team participate in The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Students of the Year campaign, a seven-week fundraising challenge benefitting LLS’s mission of curing blood cancers.
Team Fight 4 a Cure led by sophomores Sophia B. (top center) and Lyndsey S. (bottom center) with support of their dedicated team members (L-R); Sydney A. '23, Sarah A. '23, Elle B. '23, Lexi B. '23, Alex B. '23, Danny C. '23, Kiana D. '23, lbenka E. '22, Grant E. '23, Rhyan G. '23, Ellie H. '23, Griffin H. '23, Olivia K. '23, Hanna L. '23, Dillon M. '23, Victoria M. '23, Emily R.

We are pleased to share with you that this incredible team raised over $146,000 for the LLS mission! In addition, this team, along with 42 other teams across the National Capital Area, collectively raised over $3.3 Million, breaking records for the local campaign and on a national level. This amazing contribution to the LLS mission earned the team two Top Fundraiser Awards. This tremendous total will help pave the way for new cancer research and treatments. It is safe to say that this year has set the bar very high for future students and set an example for this campaign on a national level.
Excerpt from a Letter
by Lizzie Archer, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society
In a year when so many were knocked down - this generation of leaders stood up in the fight against cancer. I was continually impressed with the team as well as the incredible support they received from their school and peers.
This group is filled with bright, insightful, imaginative, compassionate, and dedicated students who truly understand the spirit of "giving back" and helping others. Lizzie Archer, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society
I have no doubt that these wonderful qualities are reinforced by the amazing teachers and administration at Bullis School every day. I have every confidence that these students have a bright future ahead of them. I know you will join me in congratulating these young philanthropists and their team members on their remarkable success!
Congratulations to the Bullis Team Fight 4 a Cure for your philanthropic efforts to help fight cancer!
