Five walks take place on the same two Saturdays and this wouldn’t be possible without the 300 volunteers that come out every year to help blow up balloons, check in participants and hand out T-shirts and food and beverage, among other tasks.

Would you like to be added to our volunteer list for one of these events?

Saturday, October 15

Mercer County, Forrestal Village, Princeton

Morris County, Pioneer Park at Headquarters Plaza, 1 Speedwell Ave, Morristown

Saturday, October 22

It’s almost the spring event season, which means we’re working on invitations galore. Looking for a gala dinner to attend? Consider Autism Speaks’ Face-Off for a Cure on March 21 or their Tri-State Corporate Committee’s Inauguaral Gala on April 15:

Invitation pg 1

For the more education-focused, we have The Newmark School’s Annual Art Show on May 6, which is open to the public for a mere $25 per person (wine, cheese and incredible art viewing included). 

Although we have law firm and pharma meetings, two education conferences and two human rights conferences coming down the pike, those are by invitation only, sorry!

But stayed tuned for invitations to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s NJ Light the Nights in autumn!

This Saturday, 5,000 people are expected to pay tribute and bring hope to thousands of people battling blood cancers at The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Light The Night Walks in New Jersey at Princeton’s Forrestal Village and at Verona Park.

Funds raised for these events support lifesaving research that has contributed to major advances in the treatment of blood cancers and treatments for other types of cancer. Those who raise $100 or more to help fight blood cancer are provided a wrist band, which entitles walkers to enjoy food, refreshments and entertainment, along with illuminated balloons and Light the Night t-shirts.

Over 50 vendors have donated their products and services to make these two events possible. We’ve been overwhelmed by the generosity of small and large businesses alike and just wanted to highlight a few of them:

In Verona, live music will be provided by LIVIN, an upbeat, funky rock band. LIVIN will also perform at the Morristown Light the Night Walk the following Saturday and has even formed a fundraising team.

Another band, joining us in Princeton and at the Camden Light the Night Walk the following Saturday, is M.E.R.C.K., made up of 11 and 12 year old kids performing hits by the Beatles, Pink Floyd, Weezer, Blink 182, Bon Jovi and Guns and Roses, among others.

Both bands will be joined by DJ A.D. Of Remixnetwork in Princeton and Soundbar Entertainment in Verona.

We’d also like to thank JR Floral Designs for their donation of 2,000 carnations and Art Digital for their time and effort in creating the signage for the event.

With generous partners like these, Saturday is guaranteed to be an inspirational night. Please visit www.lightthenight.org/nj to join us!
