Light The Night

Light The Night is The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) signature fundraising event and a powerful community experience that brings together families, friends, corporations, and survivors to honor, remember, and celebrate those impacted by blood cancers.

 What Happens at Light The Night?

Participants gather in the evening for a moving, illuminated walk. Everyone carries a glowing lantern that represents their connection to the cause:

It’s more than a walk—it's an uplifting celebration of hope, research progress, and community strength.

• Cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease, and myeloma
