New Video: Sam Hiatt’s Impact with Candlelighters

August 18, 2026

We’re excited to share a new video from Nationwide spotlighting the meaningful work that Sam Hiatt and Thorns FC have done with Candlelighters! This partnership stood out to the team at Nationwide as an example of how athletes and teams can make a lasting impact on their local communities.

Candlelighters’ partnership with the Thorns continues to thrive. As a Mission Ambassador, Sam raises awareness for our organization and the work we do. She has also been a special guest during our Doernbecher Dinner and Randall Lunch programs, serving catered meals to families staying in the hospital.

We are incredibly grateful for all of the support that Sam, the Thorns, and Nationwide have given and continue to offer to Candlelighters.

Watch Nationwide’s video below to see the story behind this special partnership!
