Who We Serve
We understand that when a child is diagnosed with cancer, it affects each family member differently.
That’s why we develop programs and services for the whole family throughout the lifelong journey of childhood cancer, from diagnosis through treatment and beyond.
Since 1977, Candlelighters has supported more than 100,000 family members across Oregon and SW Washington. If your family is facing pediatric cancer, you don’t have to walk alone. Join us.
