Things to Know:

​

REGISTRATION:  Registration will begin at 6:30pm at the parking lot of the MCCH Regional Cancer  Center.  Look for the registration tent!  Registration deadline is March 1.  Late registration will be accepted after March 1; however, those registering after the cut-off date will not receive a t-shirt. ​

​

GLOW WANDS:  Every registered participant will be given a glow wand to carry along the route in order to to us shine light in the darkness.

​

GLOW JEWELRY:  Fun glow jewelry will be distributed.  Feel free to bring your own as well.  This will not only help us to light the night, but will also provide safety.

​

WALKING ROUTE:  At 7:30 pm, we will begin walking south to Vine Street.  We will follow Vine Street to S. 11th St.  We will follow that street south to Purpose Church.  We will have police escorts to ensure that everyone crosses Sycamore St. safely.  

​

REGISTRATION FEE:  The fee for a single walker is $25.  Family & Corporate Teams (up to 10 people) will be asked to contribute $250.  Family & Corporate Teams with 11-15 people will be asked to contribute $350.  Teams of 16-20 will be asked to contribute $450.  Teams with more than 20 members will be asked to sign up as separate teams.  All walkers registering by March 1 will receive a Be the Light event t-shirt.  Registrations will be accepted after March 1; however these walkers will not receive the free t-shirt. 

​

FUNDRAISERS:  There will be no onsite fundraisers for walkers/teams; however, fundraisers to cover the cost of your registration fees (or even exceed that amount!) are encouraged!  Journey Bags will be recruiting Event Sponsors; therefore, if you choose to ask a business to sponsor you, please be sure they realize that they are sponsoring YOUR TEAM and not the event as a whole.

​

LUMINARIES:  Luminaries can be purchased for $10 each in memory of or in honor of a loved one.  These luminaries will be placed at Purpose Church to line our path as we arrive from our walk. 

​

CELEBRATION:  Once walkers arrive at Purpose Church, a concert by local talent will be offered.  This will end in a closing event that honors all those who are on their cancer journey.​​
