Shine Bright for a Cause: Coast at Lakeshore East & Our Annual Light the Night Partnership

At Coast at Lakeshore East, we believe in the power of community, not just in creating a vibrant living environment but also in making a difference beyond our walls. That’s why we’re thrilled to continue our annual partnership with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) for their Light the Night Walk.  
 
This event isn’t just a walk—it’s a powerful evening of hope, remembrance, and support for those affected by blood cancers. 
 
What’s LLS  
 
LLS is a leader in the fight against blood cancers, funding research, providing resources for patients and families, and advocating for policy changes to improve access to care. By supporting LLS, we’re helping to advance life-saving treatments and offering hope to countless individuals facing a difficult journey. 
 
Light the Night Walk: An Evening of Light and Hope 
 
Light the Night is a nationwide event that brings together communities to celebrate, honor, and remember those touched by blood cancers.  
 
Participants carry illuminated lanterns—white for survivors, red for supporters, and gold in memory of loved ones lost. The event is a beautiful symbol of hope and solidarity, with each light shining as a beacon of support. 
 
This year’s Light the Night Walk in Chicago is set to take place at Soldier Field on Saturday, October 26, 2024. As the sun sets and the city’s lights begin to twinkle, our Coast at Lakeshore East team will be there, lanterns in hand, ready to walk together in support of this incredible cause.
