Exciting News for Candlelighters Teens!

Family Camp 2009 seems like a long time from now, but planning is already in the works. One of the most exciting changes is the formation of the Candlelighters Teen Activities Council. CTAC met recently to talk over new ideas to improve camp experience for teens and expand teen activities throughout the year.  We offer a huge thanks to high school leader Rob Jensen, for spearheading and directing this new and improved teen group! In this new council, Spencer Bell will act as president, Justin Lambert as secretary, and Andrew Sumpter as treasurer. Rounding out the board are Members at Large Brian Holt, Kristina Lisac and Ben Barr. We look forward to seeing some fantastic results from this young group!  So…Candlelighters teenagers—be ready for some exciting things with teen activities and camp plans in 2009!

 Spread the Word about Candlelighters Annual Toy Drive!

Encourage your friends and neighbors to visit any of the following locations from Thanksgiving through January, to drop off a toy for a Candlelighters child or teenager. Throughout the year, Candlelighters offer toys and gifts to our children and teens impacted by childhood cancer, as well as their siblings—providing smiles and laughter. These are given out at Doernbecher and Emanuel Children’s Hospitals, Candlelighters family events and Candlelighters summer family camp. Our sincere thanks to the generous sponsors, hosts and friends participating in the 2008 Candlelighters Toy Drive!
