Golf Tournament - June 28, 2022
Virtual Silent Auction - June 22 – June 29

We are proud to announce we raised $55,000 for Candlelighters last year!

About our Golf Tournament
For the past 12 years, our employees have organized and managed fundraising events supporting Candlelighters Childhood Cancer Support Program. Usually, our main fundraising event is a golf tournament, but due to COVID-19, we changed the event to a virtual silent auction for the past 2 years. The Virtual Silent Auction and Golf Tournament have raised over $675,000 for the Candlelighters e-Reader and iPad Program, which greatly impacts the lives of children within our communities.

We are thrilled to announce that we will be hosting an in-person Golf Tournament event at Grey Hawk Golf Course on June 28th, 2022! We will also be hosting our online Virtual Silent Auction from June 22nd – June 29th.

About Candlelighters eReader and iPad Program

Candlelighters Childhood Cancer Support Programs is a local, not-for-profit organization that exists to enrich the lives of children and families coping with childhood cancer in the national capital and surrounding region. Through the provisions of Family Support, Financial Support, Education Support and Survivor Support, Candlelighters programs make a real and tangible difference in the life of these families.Thanks to your generous support, Candlelighters has supported over 150 families through the E-Reader and iPad Program since their inception.

Candlelighters E-Reader Program, a core program within Education Support, provides both children with cancer and their parents a quick, easily transportable means to access resources related to their cancer diagnosis and also provide a positive way to occupy themselves throughout treatments and recovery.

The iPad program provides an iPad to all newly diagnosed children. Not only does it keep the entire family connected to friends and family, the youngest cancer patients use iPads to enhance early learning opportunities. School-aged children benefit greatly from the various learning apps. Not only do these devices help these children keep up academically, they often provide much needed distraction while going through medical procedures and treatment.
