Photos: Thousands Gather at Light the Night at Wade Park to Honor and Support Those Touched by Blood Cancers

The annual Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Light The Night event gathers community to celebrate, honor, and remember those touched by blood cancers. Friends, families, schools, corporate teams, and sponsors join together to bring light to the darkness of cancer.

With $1.3 million raised just this year, funds go toward lifesaving research, advocacy and support for blood cancer patients and their families. Sponsors, including Case Comprehensive Cancer Centers (Cleveland Clinic, Case Western Reserve University, University Hospitals, and Metro Health), Yardi, Ziegler Bolt & Nuts Co., Medical Mutual, and Kichler Lighting made it all possible.

Thousands showed up for the effort. Here are just a few of the supporters we caught up with.
