Now in its 10th year, Light The Night is celebrating a Decade of Difference. During this time:

• Nearly half a million patients and their caretakers have called the LLS Information Resource Center and received critical information about blood cancers, therapy options and issues surrounding treatment and survival.
• Nearly $40 million was disbursed to patients through the LLS Patient Assistance program to help them get the treatment they needed to fight their cancer.
• Over 100,000 patients and family members found comfort and hope through LLS First Connection and Family Support Groups.
• LLS granted $425 million to more than 400 scientists searching for cures and improved treatments for patients.
• LLS funding contributed to the development of a host of new drugs that are affecting patient survival and quality of life.
• LLS-funded researchers began working in novel areas that hold great promise for finding cures and better treatments including new, less toxic stem cell transplants, immunotherapies and other targeted therapies.
• Our Advocacy Network has successfully supported pro-patient legislation that will:
  • Help advance blood cancer research
  • Extend Medicare coverage to include oral anti-cancer drugs 
  • Help fund efforts to reach underserved blood cancer patients

In 1995, community leaders in Garden City began to look for solutions to their high juvenile crime rate. The mayor and the chief of police teamed up in an effort to find a positive youth program. Soon, they contacted Boys & Girls Clubs of America to learn about creating a Club. Support for the future Club began to grow in the community. So, after months of hard work and planning, a Boys & Girls Club was formed in the heart of a Garden City residential area, next to the beautiful Boise River . It didn't take long for hundreds of youth to make the Club a place of their own. Today, the Club is known as a premier after-school program that has had great success in positively impacting youth.  The success of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Ada County greatly depends on the generosity of their supporters. They rely on corporate and individual gifts, special events, and grants to operate.

We are excited about growing this community tradition and it will only get better as we have more and more people join in the celebration each year.  The more the merrier, as they say.  If you are interested in coming to watch the race, but don’t necessarily want to run we are always on the lookout for enthusiastic volunteers.  Volunteer information can also be found on our website.
