As the summer travel season approaches the skyrocketing gas prices may be putting the brakes on Americans' vacation plans. The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society is doing its part to provide some relief by offering free gas cards and a chance to win an all-expenses paid vacation.Participants in online fundraising for Light The Night® Walk, the Society's annual evening fundraising walk campaign, can earn $50 worth of free gas for every $500 they raise during July and August. For every $250 raised, $15 gas cards will be earned. The cards will be available while supplies last. As a bonus, the top online Light The Night fundraiser in July and August will win a special grand prize: a vacation for four at one of the luxurious Marriott Vacation Club International's Orlando Resort properties, including air transportation, courtesy of American Airlines.
"Light The Night is the nation's opportunity to pay tribute to and commemorate lives touched by blood cancer and the goal of finding cures and helping patients is a great motivator, in and of itself," said Dwayne Howell, Society president and CEO. "But with gas prices so high this summer, the Society saw this ‘Save at the Pump' promotion as a great added incentive to do something good and get something good!"
Light The Night Walk events will take place in communities around the country in the fall, with teams of co-workers, families and friends walking together in twilight holding illuminated balloons - white for survivors and red for supporters. The funds raised help the Society support leading-edge research and provide much-needed patient services.
