8th Annual Ignite Hope Walk

A Valley-wide tradition, the annual Ignite Hope holiday candlelight walk (which will take place virtually this year) is dedicated to bringing hope to patients and families battling illnesses during the holiday season. Whether at the hospital, or at home, this meaningful event allow the community to come together in igniting hope of all and will take place Dec. 12.

The Ignite Hope ritual began at Phoenix Children’s when friends and families of Katie Wagner, a patient who was diagnosed with cancer, held a candlelight vigil outside her hospital window. In the spirit of Katie and all patients, the candlelight tradition has continued on, to brighten the lives of thousands more patients.

Here’s how to get involved:

• SIGN UP and receive a family pack of Ignite Hope candles and luminaria. You can help ignite hope and making Arizona shine, by lighting these candles and luminaria in your home, or sharing them with your loved ones.
• FUNDRAISE to help Phoenix Children’s provide world-class healthcare that is saving lives and bringing hope to our patients and their families.
• SPREAD HOPE by taking a picture of your candles and luminaria and posting it to social media using #PCHIGNITEHOPE. Show our patients and families how you are helping to light up Arizona with hope this holiday season.
• TUNE IN to our VIRTUAL Ignite Hope Program on Dec. 12. See how your support ignites hope for our doctors, nurses, medical specialists—and most importantly, our patients and their families.
