Hi everyone! My name is Zack Kauffman, a recent graduate of the University of Maryland.  Last November in 2021, I was diagnosed with Leukemia.  Now I am thankfully in remission, but I feel passionate about making a difference for others less fortunate in my situation.  In light of my illness, I created a fundraiser called the Pursuit of Hoppiness in order to raise money and awareness for the Lymphoma Society and Leukemia treatment research.  Our goal is to help younger children with my ailment and their families gain proper support.  My brother, Jake, is a senior at the University of South Carolina, and he has selflessly gained the support of his fraternity, Pi Kappa Phi, as well as Pi Kappa Alpha, on behalf of the Pursuit of Hoppiness. These two fraternities will be holding a softball game and selling wristbands in support of my cause! The game will be held on April 1st at 3pm and will be preceded by a hot dog eating contest.  Please consider attending the game to voice your support and simply to enjoy a nice day of softball!  Any donation to this GoFundMe would be greatly appreciated as well. Thank you for your attention and consideration! Go Gamecocks!!
