“Kindness is being proactive in your community. You’re cheering other people up by doing these events.”
“People may ask, ‘Why students?’ I’m a student myself, and I want to see my peers get involved. I want to give them that opportunity. Cancer affects millions of people — including those who love someone diagnosed with cancer. We need to come together. We need to make a change. We need to make a difference.”
Schools Against Cancer changemakers step up when it matters most. With confidence and character, they join the mission to end cancer — because they know this cause can’t wait.
Changemakers lift each other up. They unite students, teachers and supporters and create a movement for real change in cancer care.
Changemakers think BIG, bringing fresh ideas and energy to fundraising. They make philanthropy fun, engaging and impactful.
Changemakers show up for cancer patients, families and survivors — not just with words but with real action.
Schools Against Cancer started in 2022, designed so you can take action with your school community. This program allows you to combine your passion with a great cause. Since its inception, dozens of schools across Western New York have joined the mission to end cancer through out-of-the-box, grassroots fundraisers.
Schools Against Cancer has raised nearly $600,000 (and counting) for critical cancer research and patient care programs at Roswell Park.
Any student, from kindergarten through college, can become a Schools Against Cancer changemaker. Since this program encourages participants to lean into their passions and skills, each fundraiser can be catered to the interests, time commitment and grade level of the school/student involved.
