At Bailey Kennedy, we strive to make each holiday season brighter for local families in need. Through our long-standing partnership with the Candlelighters Childhood Cancer Foundation of Nevada, we participate in Candlelighter’s “Adopt a Family” program, which helps families whose children are battling cancer.
In our 15th consecutive year of participating, this program receives a full 100% participation rate from our team. Every employee participates in one way or another, whether it is shopping, donating or wrapping gifts.
We begin our shopping efforts around Thanksgiving to pick out thoughtful gifts tailored to the specific needs and wishes of the families we have “adopted” for the holiday season.
After shopping for the families’ wish lists-which include items ranging from toys and games to household goods and essentials-our team members carefully wrap each gift before giving them to the families.
The goal of the “Adopt a Family” program is to alleviate some of the emotional and financial strains that families endure during the holidays, especially those with children undergoing cancer treatment. By providing gifts and support, Candlelighters help bring a sense of normalcy during this difficult time, allowing families to focus on creating happy memories for their children.
It’s a tradition that our firm looks forward to each year and one that’s made possible by the generosity of the firm’s staff. Giving back to the community is something that we value and enjoy spreading Christmas cheer during the holiday season.
Candlelighters has been a vital part of the Las Vegas community for over 40 years, supporting families of children with cancer and offering services to around 400 families and 1,800 children annually. Children from birth to 21 years of age who have been diagnosed or survived cancer are eligible for services if treated or living in Nevada.
