Make a difference in your community, and help children battling cancer and their families!
Holiday Adopt-A-Family
Each holiday season, Candlelighters brings joy and relief to local families facing childhood cancer through our Holiday Adopt-A-Family Program. This special initiative pairs generous donors with Candlelighters families to provide gifts, holiday meals, and much-needed cheer during a difficult time. By adopting a family, sponsors help ease the financial and emotional burdens of the holiday season while creating lasting memories for children and their loved ones. Sponsor applications for this year’s Adopt-A-Family Program are now open! Please note: this is the application for sponsors only, not for families wishing to apply.
