As part of the luncheon's festivities, the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society will hold a fundraising fair where teams and individuals are given materials necessary to raise funds and build successful teams.

After the fair, there will be a presentation on fundraising best practices, success stories from team captains and testimonials from the honorary heroes of this year’s walk.

During the Light the Night Walk in October, participants are asked to carry white, red or gold lanterns. The colors are designated, respectively, for survivors, supporters and those lost to blood cancers, like leukemia.
