SV graduate raising money for leukemia
As the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Western PA and West Va. Chapter kicks off its annual Man and Woman of the Year campaign, 11 people are competing to raise as much money as possible for the nonprofit.
The male and female with the most money raised take the title of Man or Woman of the Year and move on to vie for national honors.
One of those people is Chandler Carranza, a 2000 Seneca Valley High School graduate.
Carranza has 10 weeks starting March 8 to get funds for the local Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, or LLS, chapter.
He lives in Pittsburgh's Bloomfield neighborhood, but still has ties to Butler County. He coaches the middle school wrestling team at Mars School District.
He's using some of his own advice he gives to his wrestlers in his fundraising strategy.
“As I always tell my wrestlers, you've got to break things down into smaller goals first to achieve that big one,” Carranza said. “So that's how I'm going about it.”
