Collegiate Champion Program
Lymphoma Collegiate Champion Program
Looking for a leadership opportunity that will provide valuable experience in the cancer research and non-profit fields? Our Collegiate Champion program invites all college students to register today – you’ll help pave the way for the next generation of cancer research and gain insight into the opportunities of a career in philanthropy. All successful participants will enjoy the title of ‘Lymphoma Research Foundation Collegiate Champion’ to proudly display on their resume and share with their networks, as well as the opportunity to apply for the Foundation’s prestigious annual Collegiate.
All Collegiate Champions have the opportunity to apply for the Foundation’s prestigious ‘Champion of the Year’ honor upon successful completion of the program.
We offer two exciting ways to become a Lymphoma Research Foundation Collegiate Champion – explore your options below:
Become a Community Connector
Make a local impact through the Collegiate Champion program. When registering, select “Community Outreach” to receive a starter kit with three educational packets from the Lymphoma Research Foundation. Within 6 months, hand-deliver these materials to local oncology clinics, community health centers, or campus health clinics to help ensure patients and providers have access to the Foundation’s free, trusted resources.
Participants are responsible for their transportation.
Host a Fundraiser
Rally your campus for a cause—and have a blast doing it! Whether it’s a pie toss, taco night, volleyball tournament, or ice cream social, you can turn any fun event into a meaningful fundraiser for the Foundation. Already part of a student group, Greek organization, or club with an annual tradition like a movie night or game day? Dedicate your next event to raising awareness and fundraising for lymphoma. Getting started is easy with the support of our staff and our customizable fundraising websites. Fundraisers must raise $1,000 or more within six months of registering.
Upon successful completion participants receive:
- Title of ‘Lymphoma Research Foundation Collegiate Champion, [year]’ for use on resume and LinkedIn.
- ‘I’m a Lymphoma Research Foundation Collegiate Champion’ image to be shared on social media.
- Letter of recommendation, signed by the Lymphoma Research Foundation’s Chief Philanthropy Officer.
- Consideration for ‘Collegiate Champion of the Year’ honor to be awarded to one student annually. Upon completion of their fundraising or outreach project, applicants must submit a short essay (1-2 pages) about their experience as a Collegiate Champion and why supporting cancer research is important to them.
