From alleviating the financial burden of unpaid bills for families to empowering teens in treatment by fostering a sense of community, and celebrating the achievements of cancer survivors who receive Candlelighters scholarships, we are proud to showcase Candlelighters’ impact in 2024 through both narratives and data in our Impact Report. Access the 2024 Impact Report here.

Each year, hundreds of families in Oregon and Washington receive a childhood cancer diagnosis. Families fighting childhood cancer can feel isolated and afraid.

But there is hope for kids and families with childhood cancer.

Candlelighters For Children With Cancer is there, every step of the way, to support the whole family. We offer families diagnosed with childhood cancer in Oregon and SW Washington practical assistance, and ways to connect. Above all, families create lifelong bonds with others experiencing pediatric cancer.

Whether you are a family looking for help or community, or a donor looking to give time or funding, we welcome you to our community of hope!
