Thank you! Light the Night 2012 was excellent! I’ve never seen so many people walk along the lakefront, holding lighted balloons. I’ve never seen so many people excited after turning the corner to see “Light the Night” on one of Chicago’s skyscrapers.
It was inspirational. And beautiful. And totally worth doing again.
But the work isn’t over. Did you know you can still fundraise, and that your donations to any FBB team will still be matched dollar for dollar by the Stiefel Freethought Foundation until December 31? Check out our team page.
The work will never be over. Blood cancers–and other types of cancers too–continue to wreck havoc on human lives. Many Americans will find themselves frightened and alone. Many will be uninsured. The Leukemia and Lymphoma society provides patients with vital support services and financial assistance. And they’re one of the largest contributors to cancer research in the world.

It's simple but profound—empathy and compassion. I am proud to be able to bring news of this Foundation to my readers. --Avert Your Eye
Foundation Beyond Belief is demonstrating humanism at its best. --Digital Chum
The best part [of FBB membership] is sharing the experience with our children. We want them to help us figure out what our monthly contribution should be and where it should go. --Raising Three Thinkers
[My] kids watched the videos from War Child and Water for People. Learning happened. Humanitarianism happened. My children felt compassion for others and wanted to help. -- Learning from the Kitchen Table
A vital test of any humanist organization's humanism is its ability to help those in need, which the Foundation is doing so admirably. --Paul Kurtz Institute for Science and Human Values
The regular contribution [model] means that our total charitable giving will most certainly increase this year. --Amy Schirmer, member
I scrolled down the list of contribution levels until I hit one that hurts, just a little. But it's a good kind of hurt. --Peter Nothnagle, member
