    Description

    Light The Night San Diego

    At Light The Night, we gather as a community to celebrate, honor, and remember those touched by cancer. Friends, families, schools, corporate teams, and sponsors join together to bring light to the darkness of cancer. The funds raised by this community fund lifesaving research, advocacy and support for blood cancer patients and their families.

    Volunteer Roles:

    To bring our walk to life, we require the support of:

    • 10 set up volunteers from 12pm-3:30pm
    • 10 event support volunteers from 4:30-7pm
    • 10 clean up volunteers from 6:30-9pm

    If you wish to attend the walk as a participant, we welcome you to register and take part: https://www.lightthenight.org/events/san-diego-0
