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 2025
National Student Visionaries of the Year
Cedar and Posey, siblings from Boston, MA, led Team ConneLLS for a Cure. They joined to give back to the very organization that made Cedar’s recovery possible: he was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in 2022 at age 15. Uniting their community to support the Blood Cancer United mission, they raised an incredible $620,438, proving that vision and commitment pave the way for a world without blood cancer.

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.
