Every October, the Candlelighters Halloween Bash transforms Ellis Island Hotel & Casino into a magical night of costumes, candy, and community for children battling cancer and their families. Hosted by the generous Ellis Family and their incredible team, this event brings together volunteers, sponsors, and donors to create a safe, joy-filled celebration complete with trick-or-treat stations, games, entertainment, and unforgettable surprises. For many families, it’s a rare chance to simply enjoy the season without the worry of hospital visits or treatments — and it’s only possible through the kindness of our community. 

Over the years, supporters like you have helped fund critical programs for these brave kids. Whether you choose to volunteer your time, sponsor the event, or hand out candy, your involvement helps light up the lives of children who need it most. Join us in making this Halloween one they’ll never forget!


Thank you to our generous sponsors:
