Ride for a Child 2025

For 23 years, a group of dedicated cyclists have joined together to support Candlelighters For Children With Cancer through a fundraising event called Ride For A Child (RFAC). This extraordinary group of cyclists raise funds and awareness of the impact of childhood cancer by riding in Cycle Oregon. Riders are paired with a child who has recently battled cancer, named an “honored child.“ We are looking forward to hosting another exciting and anticipated year of cycling! This year, the route is through the beautiful Crater Lake area.

Candlelighters provides emergency financial assistance, family support and in-hospital services to children with cancer and their families in Oregon & SW Washington, serving more than 1,500 family members annually. All of our programs and services are free; we rely on individual and corporate donations and foundation support to cover our operating budget in order to provide our broad range of vital services.
