Students Lead Fund Drive to Help Those Battling Blood Cancer
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (KEYT) - A group of concerned students supporting Blood Cancer United are hosting a community fundraiser all day at Renaud's Bakery on Coast Village Road in Santa Barbara (Montecito).
The benefit is part of their effort to raise funds for blood cancer research.
Students Jack Hyatt from Dos Pueblos High School and Sebastian Fabio from Santa Barbara High are leading a seven-member team participating in Blood Cancer United’s Student Visionaries of the Year campaign.
Croissants for a Cure takes place at Renaud's on Coast Village Road to raise money for those fighting blood cancer.
Their goal is to raise $200,000 for Blood Cancer Research.
Renaud’s Bakery will donate 20% of sales above what the bakery would typically expect for that day, with proceeds supporting Blood Cancer United’s research initiatives.
Blood Cancer United, formerly the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, is a global leader in funding research for leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma, and other blood cancers. Research funded through the organization has helped significantly improve survival rates for patients over the past several decades.
