👟🧡 WALK WEDNESDAY! 💙🎗

We're ONE MONTH away from WALK DAY, and today we're kicking off our "30 Days to Raise" challenge - are YOU ready to accept?!

Use the graphic below to ask for 30 donations, in 30 days for Candlelighters! This is a fun and easy way to get all your friends and family involved in your efforts to raise funds for your Fun Walk Team - we promise it works!

✨CHALLENGE: “Sell” all 30 numbers on the board...you will raise $465!

✨HOW:
1️⃣ Save and share this graphic along with the link to your Fun Walk Fundraiser (website OR Facebook link) via email and on social media.
2️⃣ Ask friends and family to pick a number (or multiple numbers). The number (or total of multiple numbers) chosen = the monetary amount that supporter will donate.
3️⃣ Cross off the number(s) once it has been donated and repost/share with the remaining available numbers until the entire board is “sold”!

✨WHO: Everyone can participate! Everyone who raises at least $465 (selling all the numbers) by Walk Day will be entered to win a prize!

Thank you to our friends at Ascend Performance Mat

Thank you to our friends at Ascend Performance Materials for sponsoring our new Back To School Blessings efforts this year! With their help, we were able to send gift cards to over 150 childhood cancer families to help with their purchase of school supplies! Not only did they fund the project, they also had volunteers assemble and mail each and every card. Thank you, Ascend Cares Foundation!! We are so grateful for your support.

Thank you to the Houston Texans for inviting Candl

Thank you to the Houston Texans for inviting Candlelighters families to Training Camp this part Saturday! Families got to watch a practice, meet players & get autographs, receive special Texans giveaways, visit the Kids Zone with inflatables and games, and snap pictures with our favorite guy, Toro! The team even gifted one special kiddo, Andrew, with a custom jersey to celebrate his Bell Ringing and end of treatment! What a way to celebrate the start of football season! Thank you, Texans! ❤️💙🏈

Last month, we had eight awesome supporters start Facebook Birthday Fundraisers in honor of Candlelighters and childhood cancer families! THANK YOU to everyone who hosted and helped raise over $450 in July! 🥳

What if YOUR birthday could mean a gift for another with each candle on your cake? A gift of laughter, fun, meaningful memories, and so much more! 🎗

It’s AUGUST! And a new month means a new goal! We’re hoping to DOUBLE what was done last month and we’re looking for SIXTEEN Candlelighters supporters to start August Birthday Facebook Fundraisers! Will you help us?! 💁‍♀️🎂

Candlelighters is currently serving 4,435 childhood cancer families and we want to honor each one. We have seen so many of our friends generously start Facebook Birthday Fundraisers to support Candlelighters and we want to keep the celebrations going! Our goal is to raise just $1 "per candle" and each of YOUR birthday candles signifies a Candlelighters childhood cancer family.

Your birthday fundraiser could:
🕯help relieve the burden of parking costs at the Med Center
🕯help fund a weekend away to help families forget about cancer
🕯help provide meals passes and gas cards to cancer families in need
🕯help fund parties, gifts, laughter, and memories through our free family events

Each dollar raised through a Facebook Birthday Fundraiser benefiting Candlelighters will DIRECTLY support our families fighting pediatric cancer. ⚠️THE LINK TO GET STARTED IS IN OUR STORIES!⚠️ Make sure you update your fundraising goal, the title to let everyone know it's for your birthday fundraiser, and your story about why you're raising funds for Candlelighters!

📣 Comment below if you're an August birthday and ready to use your birthday for good!

🎥 Behind The Scenes! 🎞

Here are some snapshots from the amazing @prcreativetx team with our Lights of Courage On Treatment Honoree, Posey Raish and her family! Posey is the youngest of 4 and has enough spunk to outshine us all ✨ We got to hear from her parents, Brooke & Andrew, about her journey this far and what Candlelighters has meant to them throughout their walk with childhood cancer.

We cannot wait to introduce you all to the Raish Family at this year’s Lights of Courage on the evening of October 27th!
