Dear Family and Friends,
The Stanton crew is forming a Candlelighters Fun Walk Team again this year and we would appreciate your support! My boys and I are walking in honor of all the families who face childhood cancer. Candlelighters makes a difference in the lives of childhood cancer families each and every day. I am honored to be President of this amazing organization, and I am so proud to walk in honor of the families we support.
The Fun Walk raises money for Candlelighters daily programs and services for childhood cancer families - every day things that may seem small, but add up over the course of a child's treatment time including: hospital parking assistance, hospital meal passes, gas cards, grocery cards and more.
The Fun Walk also helps to fund Candlelighters annual family camp – a get-a-way for the whole family. Many camps in Houston offer the child with cancer a getaway, but Candlelighers believes that it is very important for the whole family to come together away from the treatment facilities and their everyday hectic lives. Quality time as a family is essential in their struggle to beat the disease. The cost to send a camper to camp is approximately $200 and Candlelighters hosts more than 225 campers each year!
Thank you for supporting us and for helping all the children with cancer and their families that Candlelighters serves!
Best,
Katie, Bobby, Locke, Sam and Holt
