At The Savoy, we believe in creating more than just a place to live—we’re committed to fostering a sense of belonging and purpose within our community. That’s why we’re proud to join forces with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) once again for their annual Light the Night Walk.
This remarkable event brings together people from all walks of life, united by the common goal of supporting those affected by blood cancers.
In 2024, we’re inviting all our Savoy residents, friends, and family to walk alongside us in the Atlanta Light the Night event. Together, we’ll join together to show our support for this life-changing cause.
What is Light the Night?
Light the Night is a nationwide event that brings together communities to celebrate survivors and honor those who have lost their battle with blood cancers.
This night also raises awareness about the importance of continued research and support. During this powerful event, participants carry illuminated lanterns that represent different aspects of the journey:
- White Lanterns: For those who have survived or are currently battling blood cancer.
- Red Lanterns: Carried by supporters and allies who stand with their loved ones in the fight.
- Gold Lanterns: Held in memory of those we have lost.
This incredible display of unity is both emotional and uplifting. It’s a time to come together, reflect, and remind one another that no one fights alone.
Light the Night is a symbol of hope, perseverance, and the strength we find in community.
Why Light the Night Matters
Blood cancers, including leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma, affect millions of people around the world. Every day, individuals and families receive life-changing diagnoses, and the impact of these diseases can be devastating. But there is hope, and that hope is strengthened by events like Light the Night.
Funds raised through Light the Night directly support LLS’s mission to fund cutting-edge research, provide patient support services, and advocate for policies that make treatments more accessible. The impact of LLS’s work reaches far beyond the blood cancer community, as many of the treatments they help develop have become breakthroughs for other types of cancer as well.
By participating in Light the Night, The Savoy is taking an active role in helping LLS advance the fight against blood cancers. It’s our way of showing that we care, and we’re committed to making a difference.
Walk With Us at Atlanta’s Light the Night
The 2024 Atlanta Light the Night Walk will take place on Saturday, October 5, 2024, at the beautiful Piedmont Park. As night falls, the park will be illuminated by thousands of glowing lanterns carried by survivors, supporters, and those honoring the memory of loved ones. It’s an evening filled with solidarity, emotion, and hope—a true testament to the strength of community.
The Savoy will be there, walking side by side with our residents and team members, proudly carrying our lanterns to show that we’re all in this together.
