Creativity was in full bloom at our recent Young Adult Workshop! 🌸

A huge thank you to Roshanda at Of The Desert Flor and the Wedding Industry Professionals Association of Las Vegas for sharing her time, talent, and passion with our young adults during a special floral design workshop.

Participants had the opportunity to learn new skills, express their creativity, and create beautiful arrangements of their own while connecting with peers who understand their journey.

💙 Thank you for helping our young adults bloom.

At Candlelighters, we know that childhood cancer impacts the entire family. That's why siblings are included in our programming every step of the way.

Teen Sibs is a quality-of-life program designed specifically for siblings and bereaved siblings, creating opportunities to build friendships, make memories, and connect with others who understand their experience.

Our last Teen Sibs outing enjoyed a VIP bowling experience at Red Rock, filled with laughter, friendly competition, and plenty of fun.

We're incredibly grateful to Red Rock Casino Resort & Spa for being such a phenomenal community partner and for helping create meaningful experiences for our kiddos. 💙🎳

30 kiddos filled the Family Lounge for this month's Creative Expressions, and the theme was as sweet as it sounds.

This month, we put a creative twist on an ice cream party. Instead of scooping ice cream, our kiddos painted it! From classic vanilla and chocolate to colorful creations inspired by their favorite flavors, each masterpiece was as unique as the child who created it.

Creative Expressions is a quality-of-life program designed for diagnosed children, siblings, and bereaved siblings ages 12 and under. The program creates opportunities for children to express themselves in a nurturing and understanding community while connecting with others who share similar experiences.

What a month May was! 💛

From celebrating the incredible volunteers who make our mission possible, to making memories at pool parties, honoring our community at galas, and recognizing the achievements of our scholarship recipients and award winners, this month was filled with moments that reminded us what makes the Candlelighters community so special.

Last week Candlelighters proudly awarded scholarships to 35 survivors, siblings, and bereaved siblings, totaling $45,000 in support of their post-secondary education journeys. 🎓✨

Whether our Candlelighters kiddos are attending a four-year university, pursuing an associate degree, or enrolling in trade school, we are honored to support them as they take the next steps into adulthood and the workforce.

These scholarships reflect the heart of Candlelighters’ mission by providing financial assistance beyond diagnosis, emotional support through every phase of life, and a community that continues to show up long after treatment ends. We cannot wait to see all they accomplish.
