BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The University of Montevallo baseball team traveled north to Birmingham earlier this month to help with the Light the Night Walk at the Summit. The Falcons grilled food, served food, filled up balloons, took tickets and helped with clean up and break down. The event is set-up to raise money and awareness for Leukemia and Lymphoma.

Each year, in communities all across the United States and Canada teams of families, friends, co-workers and local and national corporations come together to raise funds for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS's) Light The Night Walk events and bring help and hope to people battling blood cancers.

Every Light The Night walker is encouraged to become a Champion For Cures by raising $100 or more to help fight blood cancer.

The event in Birmingham raised over $250,000 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
