Every Light The Night Walk honors both blood cancer survivors and those who lost their lives to the disease.

The local event took place on Saturday, Nov. 1 at Playland Amusement Park in Rye, and raised $835,000 for LLS’s Connecticut Westchester Hudson Valley Chapter. It was part of $60 million raised nationally toward lifesaving research and support for people battling cancer.

The party honored the teams of co-workers, families and friends who joined forces to find a cure for these cancers.
