Hoboken Light the Night Raises Six Figures

Friday, October 16th, 2009

Last weekend’s Light the Night Walk in Hoboken, NJ was attended by hundreds of people, including Governor Corzine, who came out to raise awareness and over $100,000 to combat blood cancers. The perfect weather, sunset and city views paired with participant’s enthusiasm to create a palpable energy. The symbolic balloons – white for survivors, red for supporters and gold in memory of loved ones lost – were literally lit up as the sun set and then walked through Hoboken.

This was our first time being involved in Light the Night and it was a pleasure working with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society team to set up the event, register participants and troubleshoot throughout the day.
