We are in the business helping families connect and make memories!
We offer family activities across Oregon and SW Washington at no cost to families dealing with pediatric cancer. Not only do families get to be a part of a close knit community, they are able to put aside challenges, and just be with other families who “get it.” Our families have made life long friends and shared countless hours of comeraderie with those who have shared their journey. Family activities are offered throughout our different branches around the state. Check out our bi-monthly newsletter for family activities, FAMILY Connections for more details on events.
Family Game Nights
Times are different, and although we cannot host our monthly family activities, it doesn’t stop us from thinking outside the box.Let’s take a fun break and take our minds off the stresses of the world through the magic of games.
Whether you are new to Candlelighters, or have known us for some time, we want to see you and have some fun! Our teen group, the Luminaries, is hosting monthly game nights through Zoom. Every month we’ll have a different theme and will be awarding prizes.
Next family game night:
The Last Decade (2010-2020) Trivia!
Join us on Wednesday, January 27th at 7 pm for a fun night of trivia. Jog your memory while we quiz you on the most memorable events from 2010-2020. We will be playing on Kahoot! and will award an Amazon gift card for the most guesses. The Zoom link will be emailed out before the event date.
