Students of the Year Atlanta

Students of the Year

The Students of the Year campaign is a philanthropic leadership development program through which highly motivated, high-school leaders embark on a journey of professional growth, ensuring that they stand out when preparing for college and beyond. 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). Student leaders fundraise for LLS in honor of children who are blood cancer survivors. The title Student(s) of the Year is awarded to the candidate or co-candidate team in each community that raises the most funds during the 7-week competition.

This year, in the face of adversity, 34 teams made up of 68 candidates and more than 400 team members came together to raise over $1.8 million for LLS's mission to cure blood cancers. This relentless 2021 Students of the Year Class broke local Atlanta records all while conducting their entire campaign and fundraising efforts virtually.

Congratulations to all of our 2021 Atlanta Student of the Year participants!
