The Light The Night Walk is The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's nationwide evening walk. Walkers carry illuminated balloons to celebrate and commemorate lives touched by cancer.
Anyone can participate. Children, adults, and seniors are all welcome. This is a casual walk with no fitness requirements.
Your participation will help save lives. Please join us in our fight against blood cancers as we "light the night" with hope and raise funds to find cures. Call (800) 822-CURE for more information and to get started Lighting The Night!
Step 1: Register on line* or contact the Central Pennsylvania Chapter
at (800) 822-CURE
Step 2: Raise funds by asking friends, family and colleagues to support your efforts.
Use the Light The Night fundraising system to track your funds raised.
Step 3: Attend the Light The Night Walk on one of the dates listed above!
CELEBRATE YOUR LOVED ONES!
Gold and silver stars will shine along the walk route to both remember those who have lost their battle with cancer, and recognize those who have won their crusade and continue to inspire us with their courage.
 Light the Night introduced the Gold Balloon in 2007! Each gold balloon will represent someone who has lost the battle to a blood cancer. Every 10 minutes, another life is lost to a blood cancer-an estimated 52,310 deaths in 2007. If your team would like to request a gold balloon and/or gold star or a silver star in honor of a loved one, contact the Central PA Chapter because extras will not be available the night of the walk. To reserve your gold and silver stars and/or your gold balloon please complete this form and return it to the Central PA Chapter.
