Thanks to the generosity of Candlelighters donors twenty-eight scholarships were awarded, totaling $50,000, for the 2023-2024 academic year to a well-deserving group of young adults who have or are battling childhood cancer and their siblings. A special thank you to the Petrie family for their inspiration in helping start the sibling scholarship in 2022. Please meet our extraordinary recipients!
