Join Santalynda in the Fight Against Blood Cancers: One in a Million for Lele Campaign

We are excited to invite you to support the incredible work of SVL Cultura Ambassador Santalynda Marrero, Ed. D. as she participates in The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Visionaries of the Year fundraising campaign. This is an opportunity for us all to rally behind Santalynda and contribute to LLS's crucial mission of fighting blood cancers.

Santalynda's dedication to this cause stems from a personal journey of compassion and commitment. Having witnessed the devastating impact of leukemia on a dear friend's family, she has long been a supporter of LLS. Now, as she steps forward to lead a team in the Silicon Valley Campaign for 2024, we have the chance to join her in making a meaningful difference.

The story of baby Lele, whose memory inspires Santalynda's efforts, reminds us of the importance of our collective action. Through the campaign "One in a Million for Lele," Santalynda aims to raise $1 million, honoring Lele's spirit and the countless others affected by blood cancers.

We invite you to stand with us and support Santalynda's campaign. Your generosity will help advance research, provide support to patients and families, and bring hope to those fighting these diseases.

Please follow Santalynda's fundraising link to donate: https://pages.lls.org/voy/svmb/sv24/smarrero

Thank you for joining us in this important endeavor and for helping to create a world where hope prevails and survivors thrive.

Sophia Chavez, Latina graphic designer and LMU senior, grew up watching her community's cultura get celebrated while the people behind it stayed invisible. She didn't look away. She built her thesis around it. SVL has told this story before — Carlos Perez drew the original Apple logo by hand and the world consumed it billions of times without ever knowing his name. Now we tell Sophia's. Silicon Valley Latino celebrates her as our newest Collegiate Cultura Ambassador.
