Lighthouse Family Retreat

Lighthouse Family Retreat We strengthen families living through childhood cancer by offering restorative retreats and helpful resources.

Lighthouse Family Retreat is a faith-based non-profit that exists to strengthen every family living through childhood cancer. We host restorative retreats and develop helpful resources so that families and their support systems can find hope in God and help in their fight. Our flagship offering is a respite for families living through childhood cancer, who we call our Retreat Families. We serve them by organizing volunteers, called Family Partners, to provide a week of deep rest, relational connection, great laughter, and palpable kindness. Over the last 20 years, we have learned a thing or two from the families we serve. From podcasts to blog posts to activity books and devotionals, we create resources that we hope will encourage your family during this journey.

Fall has a way of slowing things down, and that’s exactly what our families got to do at our Colorado retreat. 🍂

A weekend of mountain views, changing leaves, and time together at Trail West Lodge - A Young Life Camp. So grateful for every family who joined us!

Final hours: every gift is doubled until midnight tonight. 💛🎗️

This CCAM, we talked about joy in the middle of hard seasons. We hosted families in active treatment and families grieving a child at Sunrise. We celebrated at our annual Gold Party. We shared the numbers and the faces behind them.

Thank you for going gold with us, for showing up, sharing, and giving. Childhood cancer doesn't take a break when the calendar changes, and neither do we.

If you haven't yet, there's still time. Every gift made before midnight is matched, up to $10,000. Link in bio.

There's still time to make a difference, and right now, your gift counts twice.

September ends tomorrow, but childhood cancer doesn't disappear when the calendar turns to October.

Families will still be in hospital rooms. Children will still be undergoing treatment. Parents will still be searching for a moment to breathe.

Lighthouse Family Retreat will still be here. 💛

Through tomorrow, a generous anonymous donor is matching every gift up to $10,000. That means every dollar you give is doubled to help us provide retreats, hospital care, and travel assistance for families facing childhood cancer before the end of 2026.

Every gift matters, no matter the size. Will you give what you can today?

Stat Saturday, final round: The Whole Family. 🎗️

Roughly 1 in 3 siblings of a child with cancer show clinically significant anxiety or depression. Cancer doesn't just happen to one child, it happens to the whole family.

This is why Lighthouse exists. Not just for the child on treatment, but for every person standing beside them. Thanks for learning with us this month. We're holding fast to hope right alongside you. 💛

We’re getting closer, but we aren’t finished. Because of generous supporters, we are making progress, but there is still work to do.

We have 17 families who still need financial assistance to attend their Lighthouse Family Retreat.

We’re asking 160 people to give $100 each to help us finish Childhood Cancer Awareness Month strong.

Your financial gift will give a family something they desperately need...a chance to breathe, reconnect, and simply be a family again.

Will you help us close the gap?

Throughout the year, we walk alongside families facing childhood cancer and families grieving a child lost to it at Sunrise.

Right now, we're actively hosting one of each retreat, giving families space for real joy in the middle of really hard seasons. This , we're grateful to be a small part of these families' journeys. 💛🎗️

Stat Saturday, round 3: Research & Funding. 🎗️

Historically, only about 4% of federal cancer research funding goes toward childhood cancers, even though kids' bodies respond differently to treatment than adults' do.

Awareness leads to advocacy. Advocacy leads to funding. Funding leads to better treatments and more birthdays. It all starts with knowing the facts. 💛

We are close. But we are not finished.

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, and important work remains.

Before the end of 2026, Lighthouse Family Retreat still has:

✨ 2 weeklong retreats and 1 weekend retreat
🍽️ 320 hospital meals to fund
🚗 Travel assistance for 17 families

Our goal is simple: 160 people giving $100 each to help close the gap.

One gift. One family. One powerful reminder that no family should have to face childhood cancer alone.

Will you be one of the 160?

Stat Saturday, round 2: Diagnosis & Treatment. 🎗️

A treatment plan for a child on treatment often lasts 2-3 years. That's not a season, that's years of appointments, hospital stays, and missed birthdays.

This is why families living through childhood cancer need more than medical care. They need community, rest, and a place to just be a family again. That's where we come in. 💛
