Olivia McDonnold and Mira Shah, seniors at Centennial High School, have been nominated for the 2016 Georgia Student of the Year award by the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Poised to raise $30,000, the girls are two of only 15 students/teams accepted into the fundraising campaign which stretches over six weeks, beginning on January 14th and ending on February 26th.

The Student of the Year campaign is a wonderful opportunity for local area high school students who are enthusiastic about volunteerism, philanthropy, community outreach, and developing leadership skills to participate in the fight against blood cancers.

The Student of the Year will receive a $5,000 scholarship toward the college or university of his/her choice. The Citizenship Award winner will receive a $500 scholarship toward the college or university of his/her choice. Every candidate who reaches the minimum fundraising requirement of $10,000 will receive a $1,000 scholarship.

The girls have planned several fundraising events at Centennial. If you would like to donate, here is the link to their website: http://events.lls.org/pages/ga/soyga2016/OliviaMira
