Goforth Elementary - 5th Grade

The 5th graders at Art and Pat Goforth Elementary have chosen to host a fundraiser for Candlelighters, a local organization providing daily support to children with cancer and their entire families receiving treatment at the Texas Medical Center. Funds raised will go towards support like hospital parking costs, meal passes, gas cards, support groups and more.

Did you know:

- 8 children are diagnosed with cancer in Houston each day

- the average age of a child diagnosed with cancer is 6

- 80% of childhood cancer families struggle financially

- Candlelighters is the only organization in Houston providing these necessities daily at both MD Anderson and Texas Children's Hospital


Thank you for supporting us and for helping all the children with cancer and their families that Candlelighters serves!
