What is a Bright Light?
Bright Lights are outstanding Light The Night fundraisers who drive the mission of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) forward by individually raising $1,000 or more. In 2018, Greater Illinois Bright Lights raised over $1 million to support the mission! As leaders in the fight against cancer, Bright Lights receive special recognition and exclusive gifts in honor of their extraordinary efforts.
Thank you to Apex Imaging Services for sponsoring our 2019 Illinois Bright Lights!

Bright Light Benefits
- Recognition on the Light The Night website and social media

- Please bring a photo ID to the VIP Tent to receive your ticket.
*Disclaimer: Tickets are non- transferable and 1 per person. Tickets are earned by an individual raising $1,000 and will not be based on a cumulative total. 2 children under the age of 12 permitted per adult. Individual fundraising pages must show you have raised $1,000 by the night of the Walk.
Become A Bright Light
Due to the generosity of our national partners, LLS will receive an additional donation for each Bright Light! The more participants that raise $1,000 or more this year, the more funding will go to support local patients and programs in Illinois and Northwest Indiana.
Anyone can become a Bright Light, and the Light The Night staff are here to help you get there! You can contact us by filling out the form below or calling us directly at 312-568-7354.
