Dawson Grimsley was recently honored during a surprise award presentation. Dawson was named Man of the Year by the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society for fundraising efforts that raised $186,496 and set a chapter record for the Kansas Man of the Year and Kansas Woman of the Year. Each state’s participants are then ranked nationally, where every dollar raised counts as a vote, to determine the national winners.
