About Light The Night

About Light The Night

Light The Night is the world’s largest fundraising event to support blood cancer research. Participants gather together to celebrate, honor or remember those touched by cancer.

All participants carry illuminated lanterns - white in honor of survivors and the power of research, red in support of patients and finding cures, and gold in remembrance of those who have been lost. 

While Light The Night is free to attend, we encourage all of our participants to make an effort to fundraise. This event marks the end-of-year celebration of our fundraising efforts. It is because of our fundraisers that we were able to give $2.37 MILLION to our Tennessee families fighting blood cancer in the past year alone!

About LLS:

The Tennessee Chapter covers 95 counties and from July 2017 to June 2018, LLS provided 1,111 patients with $2,349,281 in financial assistance to help offset the cost of medical treatments and co-pays, and we provided an additional 47 patients with $23,500 for travel assistance.  That’s a total of $2,372,781 for our Tennessee families fighting blood cancer.

All of this was made possible through the generosity of fundraisers and sponsors.
