LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Candlelighters is treating hundreds of kids who are battling cancer with their 24th annual Halloween Bash. The private event hosts families of local children and teens, as well as their siblings, who are experiencing a pediatric cancer journey, including children currently in active treatment.

It gives our kids an opportunity to forget about their cancer treatments, with their siblings just come together and be kids and go out trick-or-treating in a fun safe environment,” said Frederick Hubbs, Director of Development with Candlelights Childhood Cancer Foundation.

The non-profit is seeking 300 pounds or 40,000 pieces of candy donations from the community by Friday, October 21. Store-bought, individually-wrapped pieces of candy. Mini or fun size preferred. No homemade candy or treats, please.
