Light The Night

Light the Night walk is this Thursday at 7:30 p.m. The directors of the event are doing everything they can to raise awareness about the event, help them out by letting your friends know of the event. The Light the Night committee had a silent auction at the Reitz Colonnade to auction off items while informing people about the walk. LTN will also be tarping Wednesday and Thursday to help promote the Light the Night walk.

“It’s been such a long run. I will be so satisfied to see the final product.” says Spencer del Moral, director.

The Light the Night walk is a fun event with many activities. Before the event at 5:30 p.m. there will be a memorial service for those who have passed from cancer. Then starting at 6 p.m. the will be a radio station there to keep children occupied and entertained. There will be dance numbers too. Albert and Alberta will even make an appearance. Each year there are banner signed for survivals, those battling and to honor those who have lost their battle. Then at 7:30 p.m. the balloon lights will be turned on and the sky will light up in support of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

“Everything we’ve been working for since summer is finally going to all come together,” says Caroline Kim, director.
