Upcoming 'Light The Night Walk' Fundraisers Set For Region

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Northern California Chapter will be hosting its Napa Valley Light The Night Walk on Sept. 27 at Veterans Memorial Park in Napa and the Sacramento Light the Night Walk will be taking place on Nov. 1 at Raley Field in West Sacramento.

The evenings will start at 5 pm with food and festivities, and the walk will start at 7 pm.

The chapter will be kicking off its 2014 Light The Night® Walk campaign with the San Francisco Walk on Sept. 23, at 5 p.m. at AT&T Park.

The Light The Night Walk is a powerful and unique fundraising campaign from LLS, which brings together families and communities to honor blood cancer survivors and loved ones lost to the disease.

The event also shines a light on the importance of finding cures and providing access to
treatments for blood cancer patients.

In addition to the Napa, Sacramento and San Francisco walks, the Light The Night campaign will host walks in the following communities:

North Bay Walk – October 11, 2014
Old Courthouse Square, Santa Rosa

San Jose Walk – October 18, 2014

Discovery Meadow, San Jose.

East Bay Walk – October 25, 2014
Civic Park, Walnut Creek.

Peninsula Walk – November 1, 2014
City Hall Plaza, Palo Alto.

The Light The Night Walk is a family-friendly, non-competitive two-mile walk route and is
accessible to all fitness levels. There is no minimum for fundraising, but participants who raise
$100 or more will become a Champion for Cures and will receive a t-shirt, dinner and an
illuminated lantern on the night of the walk.

All walkers who receive an illuminated lantern will show how their lives have been affected by blood cancer – white if they’re a survivor, red if they’re a supporter and gold if they’re walking in memory of a loved one. All cancer survivors in attendance at all Light The Night Walks are honored guests and will receive these items regardless of their fundraising level.
