WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - For the past eight years, Purdue softball has supported alumna Ashley Courtney and her family in raising money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society through the annual Light the Night Walk. The 2018-19 Boilermaker squad is set to continue the tradition with a Light the Night Walk on Thursday, Oct. 11, at Columbian Park in Lafayette, Indiana.
Courtney, a three-time Academic All-Big Ten selection as an infielder from 2010 to 2013, lost her father, Mike, to lymphoma in May of 2010.
The Courtney family participates in the Light the Night Walk under the team name Angels in the Outfield, while the Boilermakers do so under a separate Purdue softball account. Every dollar counts in the fight against leukemia and lymphoma and every dollar donated to LLS goes toward helping families who are battling blood cancers and to help LLS with research.
This year's event is slated to start at 5:30 p.m. For more information on LLS and the Light the Night Walk, click here.
In Purdue softball's eight years of participation, the program has raised over $50,000 and is the most philanthropic collegiate team in Lafayette Light the Night history. The Boilermakers have set a goal of $3,000 for their 2018 walk. To donate online, click here.
