Dear Friends of Candlelighters,
In September, our community comes together to recognize National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month (NCCAM). The month is dedicated to celebrating the brave superheroes who battle pediatric cancer. At Candlelighters, we understand that in addition to the shock of the diagnosis, there is a tremendous financial burden, an endless amount of travel, and an overwhelming emotional impact associated with childhood cancer. With your help - our organization is committed to ensuring that our local children and their families have the support and resources they critically need, especially with no pediatric oncology services offered in our area. Nearly 100 Candlelighter families in Brevard and Indian River counties benefit annually from 20 programs and services that help alleviate the emotional and financial burdens associated with childhood cancer.
Candlelighters invites you to join us in celebrating NCCAM by making a donation in honor of Operation Superhero. Operation Superhero, in partnership with Jason Hook Photography, transforms our most deserving children into the superhero of their choice with a transformation and photoshoot celebrating them during their journey battling cancer. Donations help Candlelighters to encourage and nurture the children's inner superheroes and show them that they are not alone in their fight. We are incredibly honored to spotlight our 2024 superheroes during this month's campaign!
Special thank you to our volunteers and to the amazing companies that make Operation Superhero possible, especially Jason Hook Photography, 142 Productions, Acevedo Photography, Makeup by DarcyMM, Brittney Robbins Hair, Morgan McNeal, Nannette Ragusin and Robin Steiner.
