Blood Cancer Walk needs your help- Stamford

Save to Favorites

We are seeking volunteers for the 2017 LIGHT THE NIGHT events coming up on the following dates:

-Saturday, October 28 at Harbor Point Commons Park in Stamford, CT

LIGHT THE NIGHT raises funds and support for cancer research and those impacted by blood cancers like leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma and Hodgkin's disease.

It's a moving event with a Cancer Survivors ceremony, a Remembrance Pavilion to share memories about surviving and beating cancer or those we remember, as well as kids events, food, fun and fireworks. Walkers walk through the night with lanterns lit to light up the night against the darkness of cancer. Lanterns lit white are survivors, gold are those walking in memory of someone and red is for family, friends and supporters.

We are seeking volunteers!

-Helping pass out food and snacks Helping in the Kids Area with face painting and activities
