Magnolia High School Students Named LLS Students Of The Year

MAGNOLIA, TX -- The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Students of the Year is a seven-week, philanthropic leadership development program and fundraising campaign for exemplary high school students.

During the program, students foster professional skills such as entrepreneurship, marketing, and project management in order to raise funds for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS), the world's largest nonprofit fighting blood cancer. The title, Student(s) of the Year is awarded to the candidate or co-candidates in each community who raises the most funds during the competition.

This year, two Magnolia High School students walked away with this top honor. Congratulations to Payton Szabo, from Team Children's Cancer Crushers, and to Molly Nelson from Team LLS Lifesavers for earning the Mission Citizenship Award. This year the teams raised over $1,000,000 combined; with the two Magnolia High teams raising almost a quarter of that total.
