Photos: The Light the Night Benefit for Blood Cancer Research at Wade Park Was Truly Inspirational

With 19 local sponsors and 3,500 participants, Sunday night's event, which is dedicated to curing leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma, and other blood cancers, was truly inspirational at Wade Park. The opening ceremony brings the community together to celebrate, honor, and remember all those touched by blood cancers, welcoming all patients and survivors to the dedicated Circle of Survivors.

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) is dedicated to funding blood cancer research and providing education and patient services.

Since 1949, they have invested nearly $1.6 billion in groundbreaking research, pioneering many of today’s most innovative approaches. They work tirelessly to find cures and ensure patients can access the lifesaving treatments they need. When someone experiences the fear and uncertainty of a cancer diagnosis, they provide hope, compassion, education and support.
