The Light The Night Walk is The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) nationwide two-to three-mile evening walk to celebrate cancer survivorship and commemorate those lives touched by cancer. Friends and family carry red illuminated balloons; cancer patients and survivors carry white illuminated balloons; and teams walking in memory carry a gold illuminated balloon. Funds raised support LLS's mission to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families.  

In addition to team fundraising, there are various sponsorship and balloon sales opportunities available. Business participation in our communities where Light The Night is held is not only important, but key. Together, we will move one step closer toward finding a cure for blood cancers.

This year’s Fort Wayne Light The Night Walk was a HUGE success! Over 600 people attended the September 28th Walk at the Lutheran Hospital Campus and raised more than $91,000. 

Thank you to all of the participants, sponsors, teams and volunteers. Also, a big thanks to this year's Corporate Walk Chairs, Jim Kratzat (MSKTD & Associates) and Erica Dekko (Dekko Investment Services). And, thank you to our very special Honored Hero, Alli Bear and her family!

Congratulations!
