This week’s Foundation Friday showcase is the Candlelighters Oregon. The interview is with Eric Gross, COO of Dext Capital.

Candlelighters For Children With Cancer was founded in 1977 by five families who had one thing in common: a child impacted by cancer.

At the time, there were no organizations to connect and support families going through this journey. Now, 45 years later, local families have come to depend on Candlelighters.

With the help of emergency financial assistance, regular family activities, in-hospital programs, and an annual family camp, we ensure that families have the resources and connections they need to navigate childhood cancer together.

Today, the organization has supported nearly 100,000 family members through the crisis of childhood cancer.
