October 16, 2010:
Join YCDC in the Light the Night Walk on October 16, 2010 to raise funds for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and bring help and hope to people battling blood cancers! The Walk will take place at Freedom Plaza (13th St. & Pennsylvania Ave., NW, Washington, DC) at 8 PM.
Light The Night Walk events are evenings filled with inspiration. During this leisurely walk, walkers carry illuminated balloons - white for survivors, red for supporters and gold in memory of loved ones lost to cancer - thousands of walkers - men, women and children - form a community of caring, bringing light to the dark world of cancer.
To register, please go to http://www.lightthenight.org/nca/register/, click ‘Join a Team’, and search for Team ‘YCDC’.
