Putting Brunswick Forward for a Better Future
By Luke Reppa, BEAT reporter
BRUNSWICK, OH- Brunswick for a Better Future is a Brunswick High School (BHS) student-led program under LLS (Leukemia Lymphoma Society) of Northeast Ohio dedicated to raising money and awareness for blood cancer survivors. Through fundraisers, events, and the help of the community, this goal can be achieved.
Callie Toney, this year's Brunswick for a Better Future leader, originally joined the group to support a relative of hers who had survived blood cancer. She felt inspired to help people with blood cancer and to raise awareness towards it. “I really just wanted to help people with blood cancer and raise awareness,” Toney stated.
Toney has teased many exciting events coming up in the near future, which will later be available on the LLS website, following the new year. All money raised at these events will be put to their fundraisers.
To help or learn more, visit Bloodcancerunited.org, or llsstudentvisionaries.org and support LLS starting on January 3 by visiting their fundraising page. All donations are taken to heart and valued greatly, going to a crucial cause.
Brunswick for a Brighter Future has a meaningful purpose, doing everything in their power to support blood cancer survivors in need. All help is greatly appreciated, and used to leave a positive impact on the world.
