Kelley School to Join Light the Night Walk
8/27/2009 (Kelley Indianapolis)
A team of volunteers from the Kelley School of Business Indianapolis will join hundreds of other walkers on Oct. 17 during the “Light the Night Walk” to fund cancer research.
Co-captains of the Kelley Indianapolis team, Maureen Kinney and Laura Owens, have set a goal of 20 walkers raising $2,000. The event will begin at 7 p.m. on Oct. 17 at Victory Field.
“If you’ve never participated in this event, it’s an amazing experience to see all of the participants stroll through White River State Park with their illuminated balloons,” Kinney said.
The “Light the Night Walk” is a fun way to support the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS). Services provided through the donations include lifesaving blood cancer research, financial assistance to cover patient expenses for transportation, medication and testing, free educational materials and events for patients and families and local support services.
