What is a Champion For Cures?

We all know people battling cancer - men, women and children. And we can all do something about it. Walkers raise funds in honor of patients like Jessica. Click here to find out more about Jessica's inspirational story.

Every Light The Night walker is encouraged to become a Champion For Cures by raising $100 or more 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.

*All patients and survivors will receive these items regardless of their fundraising levels.

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 fiscal year 2010, LLS invested $72 million in blood cancer research.

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.
