"Light the Night" Walk to fight CANCER


Hello Stewart & Labbe Friends and Family. We need your help to make a difference for people with Leukemia and Lymphoma. Please read below and consider giving us your support...

Despite a slowing economy, the need for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) services continues to increase. Just this past year, more than 138,500 Americans were diagnosed with blood cancers. LLS funds lifesaving research and provides information, support and financial assistance to patients and their families. Without the help of contributors like YOU, none of these services would be possible.

This year, Stewart & Labbe Orthodontics is forming a fundraising team for LLS’s “Light The Night Walk” campaign. Light The Night is an annual evening walk that raises funds for LLS’s mission: Cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families.

Our local Walk will take begin at the Naval Academy Stadium on 10-4-09. We will start gathering around 5:00 pm for registration as well as the “opening ceremonies”. At 7:00 pm we will start walking! Each walker will have an illuminated balloon white for survivors, red for supporters and gold for those who have lost a loved one to blood cancer. It is a 2 mile walk in and around downtown Annapolis. We’re trying to recruit as many walkers as possible and raise at least $5000. We’re asking our patients, our families and our friends to join our team, the WIRE WALKERS featuring the Orthodonchicks.

If you would like to come on out on 10/4/09 and be a part of this magical night with us, please email Nikki at nikkid@stewartandlabbe.com. This will ensure that you get all the information necessary.
