Light the Night in your own special way this year

In a year like no other, Australia’s most beautiful blood cancer community event has been thoughtfully re-imagined to allow us to come together in a new and wonderful way.

This year, you are invited to shine a light on blood cancer in your own special way by hosting a twilight gathering with your loved ones on Saturday, 10 October.

How you choose to Light the Night is limited only by your imagination. A family dinner party, a sunset barbeque with close friends…a twilight picnic in the backyard? It’s up to you!

As darkness falls – you will be part of the official lantern lighting ceremony that will take place in thousands of homes across Australia at the same moment via video stream.
