Your Support, Her Success: Meet Liz Lofurno |
|
|
|
We’re thrilled to celebrate Liz Lofurno, a 3x Cancer for College scholarship recipient, as she reaches an incredible milestone—graduating from medical school this spring! 🎓
Liz recently shared her gratitude with our team, reflecting on the journey and the support she’s received along the way. Thanks to the generosity of our community, she’s been able to stay focused on her studies—even through the challenges that come with pursuing a medical degree.
And the good news doesn’t stop there… Liz just matched at her #1 choice! She’ll be heading to Prisma Health Greenville to begin her residency in Pediatrics, where she’ll spend the next three years caring for and making a difference in the lives of children and families. 💛
“I am truly so thankful for Cancer for College and all the support they have provided me… I graduate from medical school in just a couple months and couldn’t have done it without you.” Stories like Liz’s are a powerful reminder of what’s possible when we come together to support cancer survivors in their pursuit of higher education. |

General Mills Employees Double the Impact for Scholars |
|
|
Cancer for College recently joined General Mills’ workplace giving campaign thanks to a
meaningful connection within our community.
Together, General Mills employees raised $1,968.51 for Cancer for College. General Mills supports
employee generosity by matching donations dollar-for-dollar, turning individual gifts into twice
the impact. We are incredibly grateful to General Mills and its employees for their generosity and
commitment to supporting organizations like ours. Their culture of giving makes a meaningful
difference for the scholars we serve. It’s a powerful reminder: opportunities like this may already exist where you work.
Many companies offer workplace giving programs that include donation matching, payroll giving,
and volunteer incentives, making it easy to give back and increase your impact. Check with your employer—your gift to Cancer for College could go twice as far!
