Join thousands of Long Islanders for Light The Night, Blood Cancer United's signature community walk to celebrate, honor, and remember those touched by blood cancer. Carry illuminated lanterns — white for survivors, gold for supporters, red in remembrance — as you walk together through Eisenhower Park on a powerful evening of hope, connection, and fundraising.

Light The Night brings together patients, survivors, families, and supporters to raise funds for lifesaving blood cancer research, treatments, and patient support. Since its founding, the movement has helped drive breakthroughs that are saving more lives than ever before. The Long Island walk has set a goal of raising $1.2 million to fuel the mission of enabling people with blood cancer to gain more than one million additional years of life by 2040.

Every dollar raised supports cutting-edge research and free patient services.
