"Join Us in Saving the Lives of Those with Blood Cancer"

Join the Community Blood Bank's Light The Night Walk Team and help support The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's mission: to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma as well as to improve the quality of life of patients and their families.

The Light The Night Walk is The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's nationwide evening walk to celebrate and commemorate lives touched by blood cancers. It will be held Thursday, September 11th. Walkers carry illuminated balloons to celebrate and commemorate the many lives touched by cancer - red to show support, white to show survivorship and gold for memorials. The evening begins with registration and a remembrance ceremony along with food, refreshments, music, and entertainment, culminating with a walk that winds leisurely through Holmes Lake Park.

Your participation will help save lives: more that 747,000 adults and children are currently living with a blood cancer. Someone new is diagnosed every 5 minutes; someone dies every 10 minutes.

Make A Difference
Your contributions will help fund medical research, support government advocacy and patient assistance programs, advance medical education, and provide critical information to the general public. Light The Night is the only organization devoted to helping find a blood cancer cure.

Fundraising Rewards
