Light The Night Walk:

Light The Night Walk is The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s annual walk and fundraising event. Teams of friends, families and co-workers raise funds for cancer research being conducted throughout the world and for services for blood cancer patients right in our community. Participants pay tribute and bring hope to people battling cancer, walking in twilight, and holding illuminated balloons – white for survivors, red for supporters, gold in memory of loved ones lost. It’s an evening filled with warmth and emotion – a show of support from a community that cares.
