We had a ball at the Family Fall Festival Drive-Thru yesterday! Thank you to all of our wonderful families who joined us! We absolutely loved seeing you all 🧡🎃

Did you know that @houstontexans Safety, #20 @just

Did you know that @houstontexans Safety, #20 @justinqreid was recently named the Community MVP by the NFL Player's Association for his extensive efforts for relief from Hurricane Ida in his home state of Louisiana?!

This week, to inspire Candlelighters kiddos to care about their community and neighbors, Justin held a live video Meet & Greet and book reading for Candlelighters families! The question & answer time was a fun treat for the kids and Justin surprised one special participant with a Co-Community MVP Award!

Congratulations to Xavier for being chosen and recognized by Justin on the call!

Xavier has received all As and one B over the past six weeks and is currently in an advanced math class. As part of his Boy Scouts participation, Xavier has created and started his own community service program. He also serves as Patrol Leader for the Falcons and just ranked up to Star Scout! Finally, Xavier has shown great courage and strength after being diagnosed with cancer at just 2 days old. He is now a long-term survivor and also plays football! Congratulations, Xavier!

Candlelighters is honored to have Justin as our Houston Texans Ambassador – thank you for all that you do for childhood cancer patients, their families, and Candlelighters!
