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 South Bend Light The Night Walk was a HUGE success! Over 200 people attended the October 2nd Walk at Saint Mary's College and raised more than $35,000.
Thank you to all of the participants, sponsors, teams and volunteers. Also, a big thanks to Martin's Supermarkets, Saint Mary's College staff and students and Norman Hamford. Additionally, thank you to the Planning Committee for all of their hard work. And, thank you to our very special Honored Hero, Destinee Smith and her family!
Congratulations!
