Here for Hope for Families with Childhood Cancer
For nearly 50 years, Candlelighters has provided comfort, community and support for families in Oregon and SW Washington battling childhood cancer.
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 childโs 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.
