Foundation Beyond Belief (FBB) is proud to announce that we are a "Special Friend" team partner with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) for their Light The Night Walks. We will be the rallying point around which local freethought, atheist, and secular humanist groups will form teams to participate in Light the Night Walks.

 

Dear fellow freethinker,

In our first year, we raised $430,000 for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, the largest amount ever raised by a first year non-corporate team and the 4th largest amount raised by any team in the nation in 2012, including corporate teams. Freethinkers across the US and Canada formed 150 local teams. 

I am incredibly excited to announce our involvement for a second year that, with your help, is going to continue to have an enormous positive impact both on our movement and in the fight against cancer. Foundation Beyond Belief is a "Special Friend" team partner with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) for their Light The Night Walks. Our goal this year is to unite the Freethought Movement around the world to raise $500.000 U.S. Dollars in 2013.

We are being joined in our efforts by our Allies: American Atheists, American Humanist Association, American Ethical Union, Atheist Alliance of America, Camp Quest, Center For Inquiry, Centre for Inquiry Canada, Freedom From Religion Foundation, Harvard Humanist Chaplaincy & Alumni, Military Association of Atheists and Freethinkers, Secular Student Alliance, Society for Humanistic Judaism, and United Coalition of Reason are encouraging their affiliates to form and join teams.

While they do not have local groups, the Richard Dawkins Foundation has been a wonderful supporter of our efforts. The Institute for Science and Human Values, James Randi Educational Foundation, Project Reason, Grief Beyond Belief, Secular Woman, Freethought Blogs, and Stiefel Freethought Foundation have also joined us as supporters.

How to join the FBB LTN team

Go to the FBB page on the LTN website to start a local team under the FBB banner or to join an existing team. If you are creating a team, be sure to use the name of your group followed by "FBB", for example, "Hitchville Freethinkers - FBB". For more details on how to create or join a team, check out our Registration Quick Start Guide for detailed instructions.

If you are in a U.S. or Canadian local group that is not near an LTN Walk, please contact Breanna Baer (Breanna.Baer@lls.org) and she will assign your group to a walk for which your group will be able to fundraise, but will not need to attend in person.

If you are in an international group outside the U.S/Canada that would like to create a fundraising team, please contact Breanna Baer (Breanna.Baer@lls.org) and she will help you create a team as part of our international "virtual team."

If you are not a part of a local group or live outside of the U.S. and Canada, you can still independently join the FBB team as a "virtual walker." Click here to join the FBB "virtual team."

If you are interested in starting a team at one of these sites, email us at LLSteam@foundationbeyondbelief.org and we will notifiy you when the walk sites are added or check back at the end of March.
