On October 29th, the Greater Princeton Branch of AYLUS (GPA) joined our community for the Light the Night event as volunteers.
BRING LIGHT TO THE DARKNESS OF CANCER. When you or someone you love hears the words “you have cancer”… it’s one of the darkest moments in your life.
The light and warmth that The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society generates delivers hope in a time of despair, connection in place of loneliness, and life-saving research and support for cancer patients and their families. Now is the time for us to be a bigger and more powerful community than we’ve ever been before.
Be the voice that speaks up.
Be the hand that reaches out.
Be the light that cures cancer.
At The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Light The Night we gather as a community to celebrate, honor, and remember those touched by blood cancers. Friends, families, schools, corporate teams, and sponsors join together to bring light to the darkness of cancer. The funds raised by this community fund lifesaving research, advocacy and support for blood cancer patients and their families. Join us in the fight to cure cancer!
It is highly recommended that all blood cancer patients or other immunocompromised individuals check with their healthcare provider before attending this event. Research conducted by LLS and others has shown that some blood cancer patients do not get optimal protection from COVID-19 vaccination and may continue to have heightened susceptibility to contracting and becoming ill from COVID-19. While at the event, we urge our community to respect anyone’s choice to continue to take precautions like masking or social distancing.
