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 Northwest Indiana Light The Night Walk was a HUGE success! Over 600 people attended the September 21st Walk at the Lake County Fairgrounds and raised more than $45,000.
Thank you to all of the participants, sponsors, teams and volunteers. Also, a big thanks to Strack and Van Til for providing the food, TransAudio for the DJ Service, Norman Hamford for providing grilling services and the Lake County Fairgrounds Maintenance Staff. Additionally thank you to the Planning and Executive Committees. And, thank you to our very special Honored Hero, Alex Rodriguez and his family!
Congratulations!
