About Light The Night

At Blood Cancer United’s Light The Night we gather as a community to celebrate, honor, and remember those touched by blood cancer. Companies, community partners, friends, families, and sponsors join together to instill hope and bring light to the darkness of cancer. The dollars raised by this community fund life-saving blood cancer research around the world, provide free information and support services, and help advocate for access to quality, affordable, coordinated care for patients and their families.

We are united to end blood cancer and we have a bold goal. By 2040, Blood Cancer United, formerly The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, will enable people with blood cancer to gain more than one million years of life. This means more birthdays, more graduations, more cherished moments and memories with family and friends.

Everyone with blood cancer deserves a longer, better life. Join this powerful community at a Light The Night event near you and help us create more memories for patients and their families. Together, we Light The Night.

Register & bring your friends

Join as an individual, as a member of a community or corporate team, or even as a team captain. Whatever you choose, be sure to ask everyone you know to join, too. Registration is free, but walkers are encouraged to raise funds to support the mission.

Fundraising support

Raise money through your fundraising page, social media or the old-fashioned way of asking friends and family to help. Log into your fundraising center here and use our fundraising and social media toolkit. Download our mobile app to fundraise and take donations on the go!

Raise more & earn more

Light The Night celebrates fundraisers who push themselves, from our Champions for Cures (raising $100+) to our Bright Lights (raising $1,000+). Also check out our Twice as Bright and $5K Club swag! Show your commitment to blood cancer patients and unlock our exclusive season apparel. We see the light you’re bringing, and we honor it!

Celebrate as a survivor

Patients and survivors will receive a special survivor t-shirt regardless of the fundraising level they achieve and a white lantern to hold high in the sky as we help to bring light to the darkness of cancer.

We want to thank our proud sponsors of Light The Night. Their generosity helps us in our mission to cure blood cancers and improve the quality of life for patients and their families.
