    Description

    Washington DC Light the Night 10/17 - Blood Cancer United

    Blood Cancer United hosts a yearly community event called Light the Night. Patients, families, and supporters come together to bring light to the darkness of cancer with lanterns we hold to the sky in memory of those no longer with us and those battling today.

    Without volunteers like you, we would never be able to have successful events that support blood cancer patients and their families! With that being said, we would love to have you join us at Washington DC Light the Night. Below you will find the date, times and location for Washington DC Light the Night.

    Washington DC LTN

    The event will be held on Saturday, October 17th, at 401 Constitution Ave NW, Washington, DC 20004. There will be 2 shifts for this event:

    Shift 1- 12:30PM-5:30PM - Set up, make lanterns, set up tables, kid zone, and more!

    Shift 2- 5:00PM-10:00PM - Event volunteer, pass out lanterns, help cheer on walkers at the starting line, and more
