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 Greater Lafayette Light The Night Walk was a HUGE success! Over 450 people attended the September 25th Walk at Riehle Plaza and raised more than $59,000.
Thank you to all of the participants, sponsors, teams and volunteers. Many others have supported the cause by providing in-kind donations. For the evening's food and drink, we’d like to thank DOMINO’S PIZZA and MARSH SUPERMARKETS. And, thanks to the Planning Committee for all of their hard work.
We'd also like to thank all of those who have helped us throughout the year. For hosting our Corporate Recruitment Luncheon in April, thanks to OUTBACK STEAKHOUSE. Thank you to DUNCAN HALL for providing the facility and to MCALISTERS DELI for providing lunch for our Kickoff Event. Also a very special thank you to KOHL’S for hosting our bank day. A special thanks to LAFAYETTE OFFICE SYSTEMS, THE LAFAYETTE POLICE DEPARTMENT RESERVE OFFICERS and FAMILY EXPRESS. Please also thank planning committee and volunteers. Congratulations!
