Additional Explanations

Form 990, Page 2, Part III, Line 4A

“Candlelighters for children with cancer stands alongside families in oregon and sw washington through every stage of their childhood cancer journey. From diagnosis to treatment and beyond, we provide essential support, including a range of engaging family activities. Going through pediatric cancer can be an isolating experience for every member of the family. In response, candlelighters offers numerous programs for the family unit as well as individuals within the family. Volunteer chapters across oregon put together events such as winter snowmobiling, picnics, mini-golf, fishing and much more throughout the entire year. Every quarter, families are invited to join together for a statewide event which marks the change of seasons. In addition, we have specific programs for our teen groups, mom's, siblings and our latino families. All of the events provide opportunities for families to come together and build bonds with others that are going through similar experiences.”
