December 5, 2026 • A world record attempt for children with cancer
The Young Professionals Board is building a 45,000-glowstick chain — one light for every child and family member Care Camps serves each year — to fund medically supervised pediatric oncology camps at no cost to families.
Our Impact by the Numbers
Lives Touched Annually
One glowstick in the chain for every child, parent, and sibling we serve each year.
Camps Supported
We provide funding for 125 pediatric oncology camps across the US and Canada.
Years of Hope
Thanks to a network of caring, compassionate, and dedicated partners.
Cost to Families
Every camp experience we fund is free for the family, always.
Where Hope Makes Light
45,000 Lights, One Chain, One Record Attempt
The record to beat is 32,499. We are going for 45,000 — a 5.6-mile chain of light carried by campers, families, and supporters. Every stick in that chain is bought by a $10 donation, and every dollar sends a child with cancer to camp.
0 lights claimed
Goal: $500,000
Hope & Healing
Every Light in the Chain is a Child
“Camp has helped me deal with my cancer because it’s like a treatment but it’s not medicine, it’s like happiness medicine..”
