Candlelighters National Office is excited to announce that the reigning Miss America, Deidre Downs will be attending this year's National Childhood Cancer Awareness Tree lighting ceremony. Deidre has agreed to sing, talk to the children, as well as be available for photo opportunities.



This holiday season, the National Childhood Cancer Awareness Tree, sponsored by Candlelighters Childhood Cancer Foundation's National office, is standing tall once again in Washington DC.

 

 

 

Located for the entire month of December in the Old Post Office Pavilion, 1100 Pennsylvania Ave NW, the 25 foot tree glitters with thousands of gold ribbons, each bearing the name of a child who has, or has had cancer. 

 

Please honor our cancer children by supporting this year's Awareness Tree Event. Order your ribbon and have it added with your child's name to the National Tree.
 




Lighting Ceremony
Saturday, Dec. 11th at 6:30 PM EST

For those able to attend the event there will be a post-lighting
reception in the Old Post Office Pavilion and a program including:

  • Inspirational guest speakers.
  • Scenic view of our nation's Capitol from the 270 foot observation deck.
  • Tours of the Tower Bells - the official bells of the U.S. Congress.
  • Another new book release by Candlelighters National Office entitled: Oliver’s Story: For ‘Sibs’ of Kids.

 




More than 2,000 individuals visit this historic D.C. location each day. As a result, an estimated 60,000 people will view this tribute to America's cancer children!








Please support this national event and help increase public awareness of childhood cancer.  Help us surpass last year's 4,000 ribbons.  Pay tribute to your cancer child by adding their name to the National Childhood Cancer Awareness Tree.

Because Kids Can't Fight Cancer Alone!
