Student Visionaries: the leaders of tomorrow
Leading the way today toward a better world.
It’s never too early to help your community.
Each year, high school students all over the country lift up Blood Cancer United’s vision of a world without blood cancer in their communities.
They look to the future—and see infinite possibility.
They challenge the status quo—and make the impossible possible.
They boldly imagine a better world – and lead the charge to create it.
Are you the next Student Visionary of the Year? This is your chance to stand up and stand out!
Congratulations 2026
National Student Visionaries of the Year
Orion Greene from San Francisco, CA led Team Greene Goblins to the top national spot, raising a tremendous $1,234,579 for Blood Cancer United’s work. Orion’s dad, John, passed away from acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in 2025 after years of supporting our mission. Through ambitious asks and creative community rallying, Orion’s team pushed forward so that "one day, no one will have to grow up without the ones they love."

Being a part of Blood Cancer United’s Student Visionaries of The Year has shown me that I have the ability to create meaningful change, whether or not it's big or small. It’s something I’ll carry with me beyond this campaign, as a reminder of the impact I can make and the importance of staying committed to something bigger than myself.
