December 2: Candlelighters recently teamed up with local firefighters to raise money by putting together a calendar. EMS Supervisor Leigh Overton, EMS Training Officer Leslie Parham, and Fire Prevention Officers Mark Anderson and Catherine Iglesias, posed for a photo shoot with children who have fallen victim to cancer.

Cancer kills more children in the U.S. each year than cystic fibrosis and AIDS combined. Each day more kids are diagnosed with cancer and another family's world is turned upside down. The Loma Linda based Candlelighters Childhood Cancer Foundation of Southern California is a volunteer organization dedicated to providing emotional, social, educational, and emergency assistance to families who have or have had a child with cancer. Candlelighters are operated strictly through donations and fundraisers.

Calendars are available now for purchase at the low cost of $10, with 100% of the proceeds going directly to Candlelighters. To purchase a calendar, make a donation or learn more about Candlelighters, please call (909) 558-3419 or visit www.ccfsocal.org.
