Blood Cancer United's Light The Night, featuring Mackenzie Page, Campaign Development Manager for Blood Cancer United

In this episode of WTR Around Town, we’re at Blood Cancer United’s Light The Night event, where our community joined forces to celebrate, honor, and remember all those whose lives have been touched by blood cancer. Held on Saturday, October 17, 2026, at Playland Park in Rye, NY, the gathering brought together families, friends, local sponsors, and community partners for an unforgettable evening of unity, bringing a powerful light to the darkness of cancer. Take a listen as we share highlights from the event and discuss the incredible real-world impact of the event—from funding life-saving research initiatives around the globe to providing free patient support services and advocating for quality, affordable, coordinated care for families when they need it most. Westchester Talk Radio host Susan Browning spoke with Mackenzie Page, Campaign Development Manager for Blood Cancer United. Moving from a background in data analytics, Mackenzie shared how her passion for community fundraising stemmed from supporting a childhood friend with brain cancer. She discussed her work guiding local individual and corporate fundraisers, managing the event at Playland Park, and engaging high school student fundraising campaigns.
