On a recent Saturday evening, Silver State Schools Credit Union (SSSCU) and the People Over Profit (POP) Foundation proudly joined The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Light The Night Walk, a moving event dedicated to bringing light to the darkness of cancer. With hundreds of supporters gathering, the night was filled with an atmosphere of unity, compassion, and commitment to a brighter future for cancer patients and their loved ones.
The Light The Night Walk has become a significant annual tradition for many, providing a time for friends, family, and co-workers to come together to celebrate, honor, and remember those who have been touched by cancer. Participants carry illuminated lanterns—red for supporters, white for survivors, and gold in memory of loved ones lost—symbolizing the power of hope, healing, and remembrance.
SSSCU and the POP Foundation’s involvement in the walk underscores our dedication to strengthening the communities we serve. By joining Light The Night, our team showed support not only for LLS’s mission but also for all those in our community facing the challenges of cancer. This event serves as an opportunity to raise awareness and essential funds for research and support that change lives and improve the futures of countless individuals.
Why We Walk
Every year, cancer impacts millions of lives, disrupting families and communities, and leaving many patients and families feeling isolated in their struggles. Events like Light The Night highlight the importance of coming together in solidarity and contributing to life-saving research that leads to new treatments and improved support systems.
Silver State Schools CU and the POP Foundation walk for a future where everyone diagnosed with cancer has access to the support and resources they need. Every dollar raised through events like Light The Night goes directly toward advancing research, patient services, and outreach efforts that bring new hope to families.
Community Impact and Continued Commitment
The spirit of community was evident in every step our team took. Silver State Schools CU and the POP Foundation are deeply honored to be part of such an inspiring cause and to walk alongside our fellow supporters. By participating in Light The Night, we reinforce our belief in the power of people and the importance of giving back.
To everyone who participated, donated, and supported this cause, we extend our sincerest gratitude. Your commitment makes a difference and shines a light for those who need it most. Together, we can continue to support life-saving cancer research and build a compassionate community where no one walks alone in their journey.
