Light the Night 2013

Light The Night - A Decade of Difference

The Baxter family is planning to honor Jon on Saturday, 10/11/08, at the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's "Light The Night" 10 year anniversary walk. If you are interested in joining the Baxters, please feel free to give them a shout. Otherwise, here is the Evite from JJ and Steve:

Dear Friends & Family,

You are officially invited to the 2nd Annual "Light the Night" walk honoring Jonathan Baxter and in support of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Participation last year was a stunning success with over 80+ walkers and over $4,000.00 raised. The walk itself was an uplifting experience and exceeded our expectations. The family friendly environment of Centennial Park including the kid's activities, food stations, and memorials were amazing. Registration is required for Team JonBoy - Atlanta. The team captain is Jon's Dad, Dave Baxter. The best method for doing so is online and can be found here:

Registration Page - Team JonBoy

We are once again asking for a donation of $20.00 per adult with kids being free. If you are unable to participate any donations are welcomed and appreciated and can be done in memory of Jonathan online at:

Donations Page.

We will be gathering back at the Shaw house at the conclusion of the walk for food, spirits, and in celebration of Team JonBoy. This event is so important to our family and we thank each and every one of you for your financial and/or emotional support. The success of Team JonBoy 2007 has increased with the creation of Team JonBoy - Sacramento captained by Jon's Aunt Shelly Loftin. This has provided a great opportunity for our West coast friends and family to participate and we are extremely grateful. We look forward to another successful year and will follow up in the near future with additional information.

Sincerely,

Steve & JJ Shaw

"Light The Night" walk for the Lymphoma and Leukemia Society

We are planning to honor JonBoy on Saturday, 10/13/07, at the "Light The Night" walk for the Lymphoma and Leukemia Society.

We would be so appreciative if all of Jon's friends would join us as "Team JonBoy" and sign up and pledge for the walk. Here is the Evite we sent out.

Also, afterwards we are going to have a light meal, music, and fun for all at JJ and Steve-o's house. It would be nice if all of you could attend.
