We make sure no family faces childhood cancer alone.


Who We Serve

When a child is diagnosed with cancer, everyone in the family and the child’s community is impacted. This is why we offer programs and services for the whole family throughout the lifelong journey of childhood cancer.

Candlelighters’ Story

Candlelighters For Children With Cancer was founded in 1977 by five families who had one thing in common: a child impacted by cancer. Today, nearly 50 years later, Candlelighters has served over 100,000 family members through the crisis of childhood cancer.

All of our programs are free of charge and we welcome families at every stage of the childhood cancer journey. As we like to say, once a Candlelighter always a Candlelighter.
