To benefit Capital Candlelighters
About Us!
Our Mission is to educate, support, serve and advocate for children with cancer, their families, survivors of childhood cancer and the professionals who care for them. Some of our programs include:
- Providing information and assistance to the families of hospitalized children.
- Providing emergency funds to families of local children with cancer who need to help with transportation and other basic living expenses.
- Distributing educational materials on childhood cancer and other needed items to newly diagnosed kids and their parents.
- Sponsoring fun activities so kids and families can enjoy themselves and share informal support while they face the cancer battle.
- Furnishing a hospital-based library of resource materials on childhood cancer for use by parents and kids.
- Giving prepaid gas cards and phone cards to families who must travel long distances for a child's treatments.
