SAN DIEGO, Nov. 1, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- TriLink BioTechnologies (TriLink) today announced that they have formed a team that will participate in this fall’s Light The Night® Walk, raising money to find cures for cancer and provide critical support to patients and their families.

Light The Night® is LLS’s annual walk held each fall in communities throughout the United States and Canada to pay tribute to those touched by cancer and to raise awareness and funds to support research and patient services.

This year, Walks will be held on November 5, 2010 at the Del Mar Fairgrounds.
“We are grateful to the companies and employees who are lending their support to this year’s Walk,” said Jenna Korb, Executive Director of the San Diego Chapter. “Their participation goes a long way toward bringing attention to the critical need to find cures and gives patients and their families hope for the future.”
“The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Light the Night® Walk was a perfect addition to our ongoing program to give back to the San Diego community.
