Student Visionaries of the Year Washington DC

Visionaries 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.

Blood Cancer United was built on that same vision - of a better world - one without blood cancers. Through our Student Visionaries of the Year campaign, we are excited to recognize these young leaders for being what we need most, visionaries.

Student Visionaries of the Year is a philanthropic leadership development program through which highly motivated, high-school leaders embark on a journey of professional growth, fostering professional skills such as entrepreneurship, marketing, and project management all while working to raise as much as possible for our mission – to cure blood cancer and improve the quality of life of patients and their families.

These tenacious young changemakers fundraise in honor of blood cancer survivors. The titles Student Visionaries of the Year are awarded to the candidate teams who raise the most funds in their community during the 7-week competition.
