2. Introduction
An experienced IT professional with a wealth of experience
in the financial services sector, Keyvan Azami currently
serves as the head of fixed income derivatives trading
technology for the New York City headquarters of
Bloomberg LP. When he isn’t working, Keyvan Azami
supports multiple charitable initiatives, including the annual
Light the Night charity walk of the Leukemia and
Lymphoma Society.
Light the Night is a network of 150 fundraising and public
awareness events that attract about a million people
across the United States and Canada on a yearly basis. As
a symbol of hope and life, leukemia and lymphoma
survivors celebrate by lighting up the night with white
lanterns. These survivors join family, friends, and other
concerned citizens to walk through the evening and gather
at a central Remembrance Pavilion to honor loved ones
they have lost by leaving personal tributes.
3. Light the Night
In addition to these powerful and emotional
events, Light the Night reaches out to businesses
of all sizes to establish retail campaign
partnerships that are designed to raise funds and
transform company managers and employees
into ambassadors for cures. Light the Night also
supports a Night Light program that allows
businesses to place their logos next to the Light
the Night logo on lantern-shaped, plug-in night
lights. Cancer patients in treatment receive these
night lights free of charge, along with educational
inserts about care and advocacy.
