What is Light The Night? It’s a national fundraising movement that celebrates and commemorates lives touched by blood cancers. Corporate teams, families, and friends who participate in the evening walk will carry illuminated lanterns -- white for survivors and patients, red for supporters, and gold in memory of a lost loved one.
Light The Night is more than just a walk. It’s people coming together to shed light on the dark world of cancer.
Everyone across Northeast Ohio is welcome – and encouraged – to join the Light The Night.
