Thanks to the generosity of Candlelighters donors twenty-nine scholarships were awarded, totaling $43,250, for the 2024-2025 academic year to a well-deserving group of young adults who have or are battling childhood cancer and their siblings. A special thank you to the Petrie family for their inspiration in helping start the sibling scholarship in 2022. Please meet our extraordinary recipients!
