ABOUT CANDLELIGHTERS:

The independent charity (501c3) was established over twenty– seven years ago and continues to be the

primary provider of essential programs and services which help families of children with cancer and blood disorders.  We provide services to Lee, Collier, Hendry, Glades and Charlotte Counties.  The Candlelighters understand parents of children with cancer are often young with limited income.  They must juggle home, work and the needs of other children in the household as well as be available to the newly diagnosed child for hospital and doctor visits. This is why the services we provide are available at no cost to the families.

Candlelighters is a special organization that plays a critical role in each families life.  To hear a parent say how much their family enjoyed an event where they could talk to other parents or for a child who months later recalls his great adventure aboard a pirate ship, it helps us to realize Candlelighters IS a glimmer of hope among the uncertainty.  Learn more about the charity or download information on the golf event log
