My name is Kimball Boyle and I am a sophomore at Evergreen High School. I attended RMAE from 1st-8th grade and I currently have 3 siblings still there. I have been nominated to participate in the Students of the Year Campaign 2021 with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. High school students across the country learn communication, management, and financial stewardship through raising funds used by LLS for research, advocacy, and access to treatments for blood cancers. I will be competing against other Colorado high schoolers to raise as much money for patients with blood cancers as possible during the campaign donation window of January 7th- February 27th. My personal goal is to raise $50,000. It’s a lofty goal, but I am willing to work hard to reach it. I cannot do it alone, I need your help. Please click on the link which will take you directly to my fundraising page. Kimball Boyle
