Candlelighters of W. TX/So. NM is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization that serves families of children with cancer. It is the only no-cost provider in the region that supports children with cancer ages 0 to 25. We serve approximately 300 children in treatment and provide extended services to over 2,000 registered families in the El Paso and surrounding areas.

Candlelighters is dedicated to enriching the lives of children who have cancer by providing hope, support, encouragement, advocacy and education to those children, their families, and the community at large.

We are deeply committed to making every effort to provide stability to our families throughout their child’s treatment period, no matter how long that may last, so that no family and no child will fight cancer alone.

In September, Candlelighters families, staff, and our community Walk for Hope.
Candlelighters coronates a new king and queen each year to help lead our kids with hope, courage, and compassion.
At Camp Courageous and Camp Bravo, our Candlelighters kids get to enjoy a fun week of outdoor adventures.
Candlelighters believes no kid should fight cancer alone, and we understand support for the whole family is needed as they go through this journey.
Candlelighters provides many types of social-emotional support groups and events to ensure no child and sibling feels alone as they fight cancer.
None of our Candlelighters programs are possible without the incredible dedication and service from our staff and volunteers.
