McDonnold and Shah Win Top Three Recognition

Raising $26,722.00 in just 6 weeks, Olivia McDonnold and Mira Shah, seniors at Centennial High School, won Top Three recognition at the 2016 Georgia Student of the Year Awards Gala sponsored by the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. McDonnold and Shah were two of only 15 students/teams accepted into the fundraising campaign which began on January 14th and ended February 26th.

The Student of the Year campaign is an 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. Every team who raised the $10,000.00 minimum received a $1000 scholarship.

The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society set a goal of $100,000 in Georgia and raised $215,000.
