CandleLighters Childhood Cancer Foundation: Take-a-Hike Walk

SPERO is participating in the Candlelighters Childhood Cancer Foundation Walk to raise donations and support for the foundation! We have also volunteered to help with tearing down the event. The walk itself is a fun and active way that you can be involved in raising awareness for Candlelighters and there will be a lot of cancer survivors there for you to meet and build relationships with. You are more than welcome to ask people to support you in this with donations as well. This will be an all day event so we will plan on carpooling. There is a small schedule posted at the bottom of this post.


The registration will be free of charge to you because of the Candlelighters car wash we held on Sept. 11th at which we raised about $170! Yay! Thanks to all those who helped out at the car wash! It was fun working with you all!

We are registering as team SPERO. So don't fill out the application on-line. PLEASE EMAIL US YOUR HOME ADDRESS and we will hook you up with the right application. PLEASE RSVP for this event by emailing us your address and saying you are able to come by Wednesday Sept. 22nd! Our email address is spero.volunteer@gmail.com

We are asking that you wear our team SPERO shirts if you are able to purchase one at this time. They are only $10 and look awesome!

Candlighters Childhood Cancer Foundation - CAR WASH on Sept 11th!!

HEY SPERO FRIENDS!

If you are in the mood for getting cooled off this coming weekend, join us for the Candlelighters Childhood Cancer Foundation Car Wash to raise funds for the Childhood Cancer 'Take-a-Hike' Walk in Tucson, AZ on Sept 25th!

The event date for the car wash is Saturday September 11th @ 8:45am-12:30pm or whenever the cars stop coming! It will be held at the Dairy Queen on Rural Rd and Elliot in Tempe!

All funds raised will go towards the $15 per person registration for the Walk and the rest will go towards making a donation to Candlelighters. If you would like to sign up for an item to bring, we are still looking for towels, buckets, sponges, and soap.

Thank you for your willingness to help with this fundraiser! We know this will be a fun time for all of us to get to know each other better and build strong community! 

Jessica and I will be making a couple signs for some of us to take turns holding at the sidewalks. You may make a sign as well if you feel creative!

Let us know if you have any more questions! Send us an email to sign up at spero.volunteer@gmail.com.

Spread the word and don't forget to bring your car by to get a wash!
