About Us:
Candlelighters For Children With Cancer (“Candlelighters”) was founded in 1977 by five families who had one thing in common: a child impacted by cancer. Since 1977, we have supported more than 100,000 families across Oregon and SW Washington through the lifelong cancer journey.
Our mission is two-fold: (1) to provide a close-knit community centered on healing and hope, and (2) to provide financial assistance to those families in need. From diagnosis through treatment and beyond, we offer programs such as emergency financial assistance, college scholarships, family camp, regular family activities, bereavement support, mentorship programs, and in-hospital meals. We ensure programming is always free to Candlelighters families.
