“We owe it to our community. I think the key factor to us being able to do what we did is our community and the connections we had to a lot of people.”

“It’s amazing to watch these young men and women work so hard to fundraise and help us cure cancer. Students of the Year resonates with Generation Z, who want to leave their mark on their school, their community and the world.”
