Volunteer Spotlight: Sophia

Sophia has been a volunteer with Candlelighters since 2026 after meeting a team member at her job and learning about our mission. In her time so far, Sophia has supported the Candlelighters team at events such as Family Bingo Night and the Winterhawks “Puck Cancer” Night, helping to create meaningful experiences for the families we serve.

“Candlelighters has made me feel like I can make a difference in people’s lives and meet some amazing people! It is always a joy of mine to get to go to the events and help out!”
