Light The Night 2024

Light The Night – Presented by Ameren

At The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Light The Night we gather as a community to celebrate honor and remember those touched by blood cancers. Friends families schools corporate teams and sponsors join together to bring light to the darkness of cancer. The funds raised by this community fund lifesaving research advocacy and support for blood cancer patients and their families. Join us in the fight to cure cancer! We will have food trucks the Purina Incredible Dog Team a bubble van music by DJ Jillian and so much more!

It is highly recommended that all blood cancer patients or other immunocompromised individuals check with their healthcare provider before attending this event. While at the event we urge our community to respect anyone’s choice to continue to take precautions like masking or social distancing.

We acknowledge some participants might need ADA accommodations. We do our best to provide these accommodations at every location however depending on weather and venues it may be difficult for participants using wheelchairs to move freely around all areas of specific walk sites. If you have questions or need support please call us at 888-557-7177 in advance to discuss accommodations. Meeting the needs of all participants is very important to the Light The Night experience
