WALK because someone's life depends on it.
SAVE THE DATE!
JOIN US FOR THE BUFFALO LIGHT THE NIGHT WALK
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 2013
DELAWARE PARK
Light The Night is The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) international evening fundraising walk to celebrate & commemorate lives touched by cancer. Light The Night supports LLS's mission to cure leukemia, lymphoma, hodgkin's disease & myeloma and improve the quality of life for patients & their families.
Participants form teams of family, friends & coworkers who raise funds and gather together to "light the night" & bring hope to local blood cancer patients. Participants receive an illuminated balloon to carry during the Walk. A special white balloon identifies cancer survivors, all supporters carry red balloons, and gold balloons are carried in memory of a loved one.
WE NEED YOU!
The Western & Central NY Chapter serves a roster of over 4,000 patients. Your fundraising efforts help make it possible to fund vital patient services, like peer counseling, patient financial aid, four local research projects, advocacy & so much more!
