Events

Event sponsors play an essential role in bringing our programs and events to life while providing a valuable opportunity to get your business in front of the local community. Their generosity helps offset event costs, provide meaningful experiences, and ensure more children and families affected by childhood cancer can participate at no cost. Through financial contributions, in-kind donations, and community partnerships, sponsors gain meaningful community exposure while helping us create memorable moments, fund our support programs, and make a lasting impact in the lives of the families we serve.


Quality of Life Programs

Quality-of-Life programs create meaningful opportunities for connection, creativity, and support for children and families affected by childhood cancer. There are many ways to get involved and help make these programs possible! You can support Teen Scene, Teen Sibs, Creative Expressions, Caregiver Circle, and Young Adult Connections through monetary donations, activity sponsorships, in-kind donations, providing supplies or refreshments, or offering your business or services, to help bring these experiences to life.

Every contribution helps us create memorable experiences and remind our community that they are never alone.


Fundraising

There are so many ways to turn your passion for giving back into meaningful support! Host a fundraiser by organizing a giveback night at your favorite restaurant or local business, planning a community event, hosting a donation drive, or creating your own unique fundraising challenge. Every dollar raised helps support Candlelighters' financial assistance programs, providing families with relief for everyday expenses, medical co-pays, housing, transportation, and other unexpected costs that come with a childhood cancer diagnosis. Whether you're rallying friends and family, engaging your workplace, or partnering with a local business, your efforts help ease financial burdens so families can focus on their children.
