All Stars United Student Fundraiser – Fight Blood Cancer

“We’re raising $100,000 to fight blood cancer.” – Ava Bencivenga and Violet Palacios, Blood Cancer United 2026 Student Visionaries of the Year and Huntington High School students. 

Every ticket purchased and every donation made goes directly to Blood Cancer United’s mission — funding research, patient support, and advocacy that saves lives.

Ava Bencivenga: “Our family has raised money for Blood Cancer United for many years. In 2011, my grandmother, Beatrice Bencivenga, was diagnosed with cancer. She passed away ten years later — we miss her every day, but we’re grateful for the extra years thanks to research breakthroughs. I’m proud to carry on our family’s mission. Our goal is ambitious: raise $100,000 in seven weeks and win the title.” 

Violet Palacios: “I am honored to be a Student Visionary of the Year candidate, raising critical funds in the fight against leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma. Through education, advocacy, and research, we can save lives. Every dollar brings hope to families navigating an incredibly difficult journey. Donate. Share. Support. Together, we’re changing lives.”
