Make A Difference

Leon High School has sponsored this cancer fundraiser for the past fifteen years. The total from all fifteen years of fundraising by Leon’s students, families, and alumni, along with the Tallahassee community, has grown to over $500,000. This money has not only benefited hundreds of local lives — with all the money donated to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital’s Cancer Center and other programs — but it has also increased student awareness and general spirit within the community. Because of COVID, our fundraising events are limited, but cancer never takes a break – there are still patients in the Cancer Center fighting for their lives. 

$50,200 raised in 2020!
