SUMMER SURPRISES

Summer Surprises parties are held each summer for Children’s Memorial Hermann, Texas Children’s Cancer Center, and MD Anderson Children’s Cancer Hospital patients. Candlelighters staff and volunteers organize a fun event for patients in the hospital or receiving treatments in the clinic. This event includes providing gifts and treats, and fun crafts and activities for childhood cancer patients and their siblings.  It brings a little bit of “holiday” cheer in the middle of summer.

Save the Date for Thursday, July 10, 2025. Registered Candlelighters families will be sent event and RSVP information closer to summer time.
