2021 Light The Night Walk

5:00 PM - 8:00 PM

The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s Light The Night event presented by Jersey Mike’s Subs and Summit Mortgage shines a light on the darkness of cancer through research and the progress towards cures. It is an evening celebration that brings people together to honor patients, survivors, and the strides being made to end the disease. Enjoy outdoor festivities for all ages including a glow zone, glam station, team photo booth, food trucks and more! An inspirational program and a special survivor ceremony kicks off an ‘illuminated’ walk at dusk where participants ‘light the night’ with glowing lanterns symbolizing each participant’s connection to the disease. Red symbolizes the support towards those battling cancer, white symbolizes survivorship, and gold symbolizes the loved ones lost to cancer. At the end of the walk, the celebration continues with a spectacular fireworks display over the river! For more information and to register, visit: https://www.lightthenight.org/
