In honor of Dave Stevens, the Society of Illustrators has built a team for
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Light the Night Walk,
and we would like you to join!
Please help us by donating or joining our team for the Walk.
"[Dave Stevens] was enormously talented, an artist whose Rocketeer series reminded everyone how good comics could be, a creator whose work literally sparkled with personality....I
don't think I ever knew him quite as well as he probably knew me (and I
believe many of his friends would say the same thing), but I do know
that I miss him." -- Arnie Fenner, co-founder of Spectrum, co-editor of Brush with Passion: The Art and Life of Dave Stevens
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Light the Night Walk is a nationwide evening walk that raises funds for cutting-edge cancer research and innovative programs for patients and their families.
It's a special night, celebrating and commemorating lives touched by cancer. Walkers carry illuminated balloons- white for survivors, red for supports and gold for those who have lost a loved one to blood cancer. Light the Night is a magical event that someday will ensure that blood cancers are eliminated.
Your help will make a difference. Please consider walking on our team and making a commitment to raising funds. If you can't participate, then we invite you to make a donation.
