"Light The Night Walk, LLS's annual evening fundraising walk, is the nation's opportunity to pay tribute and commemorate lives touched by blood cancer," said Nancy L. Klein, chief marketing and revenue officer for LLS. "The goal of finding cures is already a great motivator, and LLS's 'Save at the Pump' promotion is just an extra way to thank participants for bringing hope to patients battling cancer."
Light The Night Walk events take place in communities around the country in the fall, with teams of co-workers, families and friends walking together in twilight holding illuminated balloons - white for survivors, red for supporters and gold to remembers those lost to cancer. Funds raised help LLS support cutting-edge research and provide critical patient services.
