VAHS Service Club "Light The Night" Fundraising Page

Please join the VAHS Service Club in bringing light to the darkness of cancer! We are forming a fundraising walk team for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Light The Night. Register today HERE to join our team or make a donation and help fund cancer cures!

By donating today, you can help children like Ben. In 2019, at four years old, he was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Though there were many difficulties along the way, he finished treatment in June of 2022 and has returned to school. Now that he’s done with treatment, Ben spends more time with friends, and says he’s looking forward to all sorts of adventures out in the world! 

Funds raised through Light The Night allow LLS to fund treatments for patients who are suffering from all forms of blood cancers. LLS has helped fund over 70% of FDA-approved blood cancer treatments since 2016.

Help defeat the darkness of cancer. Please donate today to continue to help patients and their families across the country!
