Dream Night Prom for Teens with Cancer

Candlelighters, Childhood Cancer Fondation of Southern AZ, will be hosting their 6th Annual Dream Night Prom for teens who are battling cancer.

The prom is a magical, healing experience for the teens that participate. It is a moment of normalcy from all the physical changes caused by treatment related to their cancer. It gives the teens a chance to experience some of the common social activities they often miss out on due to their illness, such as the Prom.

Help make their Prom night a dream come true - they are currently seeking donations of dresses for the girls, and/or cash to make the night spectacular. If you'd like to give to the cause, please leave donations in the Shrine office Monday or Friday 9:30am-12noon, or at the parish office in care of the Michelle. I will be mailing out the dresses no later then February 21, 2011.


If you have any questions, please email me or call at 480-844-4493.

Wanted: HANDCRAFTERS

Do you Knit or enjoy creating handmade items? We are currently in need of people who are willing to create prayer items for cancer patients. Hand knitted/crocheted prayer shawls, scapulars or beaded bracelets, which are made in prayer, are of great value to those afflicted by cancer. We are currently very low on these items are seeking more volunteers to donate their time. Other handmade items may also be accepted as long as they were created in the spirit of prayer for patients and/or their families.

If you would like to provide donated items made by you or your ministry, please contact us at 480-844-4493, or email at Christ_the_King@ctk-catholic.org
