Fundraising Events
Candlelighters’ fundraising and educational events are fun and meaningful opportunities to learn about our mission and to connect with other supporters to raise money for local families facing pediatric cancer.
If you have questions about any of our current fundraising events, or want to know more about supporting or sponsoring an event, we would love to hear from you! Please reach out to Camille for more information.
You can also sign up for our newsletter for supporters at the bottom of this page to stay up-to-date on information specifically for Candlelighters donors.
We hope you can join us on June 2 for our first in-person fundraising event in two years! We’ll celebrate 45 years serving families with childhood cancer with friends, food, and a beautiful view.
