The evening will be lit with illuminated lanterns – white in honor of survivors, patients and the power of research, red in support of patients and finding cures, and gold in remembrance of those who have been lost.
A Remembrance Pavilion will provide a touching memorial space for those who have lost family, friends and co-workers to come together to celebrate their memory and leave tributes to their loved ones
There will also be a Survivor Circle, where survivors and patients will take part in an inspiring ceremony where they raise their white lanterns in unison as the white beam of hope reaches up to the sky, illuminating the darkness.
