Become a Champion For Cures!
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, illuminated balloon and a wristband which entitles the walker to food and refreshments
*All patients and survivors will receive these items regardless of their fundraising levels.
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.
