Dear

Armstrong Atlantic State University’s Radiation Therapy trackhas made a commitment to build a team for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Light The Night^® Walk. This is an opportunity for our department to do something good in our community. It is an opportunity to help fight cancer by:

•     Joining the Light The Night team

•     Making a personal contribution

•     Raising funds for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society to use for critical cancer research and services for patients and their families

Light The Night is an evening walk to celebrate and commemorate the lives of people touched by cancer. Walkers hold illuminated balloons – white for survivors, red for supporters, gold in memory of a life lost – and light the night with hope. The Walk culminates in a community celebration with music, refreshments and entertainment – where friends, family members, neighbors, co-workers and others come together to demonstrate their support for cancer patients. 

Team members raise funds by encouraging others to contribute. Funds will be used for research to find cures for blood cancers—leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma—and to improve the quality of life of patients and their families.

We are currently taking donations for a fundraising raffle. We are asking for donations of gift cards, gift baskets, etc, which will be raffled off on September 30, 2008. The raffle will be held at the AASU campus. As team captains, we encourage you to become involved in this worthwhile endeavor and to give yourself the experience of helping others. You will be glad you joined us. Call us at (912)3081129 for Karina / (706)5669982 for Lorena. You can also visit our website to see how we are doing.   http://teams.lightthenight.org/AASURadiationTherapy

Following is a little information about the LTN walk. For more information, visit www.lightthenight.org

When: 10/03/2008 at 5:30pm for registration and festivities. The walk starts at 7:30pm.

Where: Forsyth park

Who: Anyone who wants to fight cancer is invited to join. No particular level of fitness is required. 

How: We encourage every walker to beat the national average amount (nearly $200) by setting their individual goal to at least $250. I’ll give you information on how to go about it. Our team goal is $5,000.

Why: The need for cures is critical: Every five minutes, someone in this country is diagnosed with blood cancer. Every 10 minutes, someone dies. Leukemia is the leading cause of cancer death among children and young adults under the age of 20.

Fundraising Rewards: All participants raising $100 or more will receive an illuminated balloon and a T-shirt to wear during the Walk. Walkers raising $300, $500, $1,000, $2,500 or more can receive other great incentives. Visit www.lightthenight.org for more information on our incentives.

Please join us for this very special evening. Be a part of our team. You’ll enjoy yourself. And you’ll make an important difference in the lives of others.

Sincerely,

Karina Dean and Lorena Alvarez Quintero

Dear

 

Armstrong Atlantic State University’s Radiation Therapy program has made a commitment to support The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Light The Night^® Walk, and we’d like to enlist your support. Light The Night is an annual, nationwide walk to celebrate and commemorate lives touched by cancer.

 

In a sense, that’s all of us. We all have friends, neighbors and family members who are

battling cancer. Sadly, most of us know people who have lost the battle. 

 

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) is the world’s largest voluntary health organization dedicated to funding blood cancer research and providing education and patient services. LLS meets the standards of the Better Business Bureau for charitable accountability. We encourage you to join the team and help us meet or exceed the $5000 goal we’ve set for our team.

 

We are currently taking donations for a fundraising raffle. We are asking for donations of gift cards, gift baskets, etc, which will be raffled off on September 30, 2008.
