PLEASE REGISTER TODAY!

BECOME A CHAMPION FOR CURES! Every Light The Night walker is asked to raise $100 or more to become a Champion For Cures to help people fighting cancer live better, longer lives. A Champion For Cures will receive night-of-walk benefits* including a:

Light The Night t-shirt
Light The Night illuminated balloon
Wristband which entitles the walker to food and refreshments

How to become a Champion For Cures
Raising $100 is easy! Send your online fundraising webpage to 20 or more people and ask each person for a donation of $10 or more. Even if only half of the people donate $10 or more, you will have raised $100 and most likely more.

How $100 Can Help Patients With Cancer

"You have cancer." Those three words change everything. In communities across the country, LLS support groups provide patients and their families with a place to listen, learn and share with others in the same situation.
Cancer can be overwhelming. But help is just a phone call away. LLS information resource specialists help educate and empower patients with individualized disease information and treatment options.
In 2009 alone, LLS researchers were conducting more than 100 clinical trials, a critical step in the development of new treatments and cures that will help patients live better, longer lives.

Walkers who have raised less than $100 are welcome to attend and walk, but the night-of-walk benefits listed above are reserved for those who are a Champion For Cures.
