Light a candle in memory or honor of a loved one
Proceeds to benefit a comprehensive cancer center in southern Illinois
(Carbondale, IL) – While reservations for the SIH Foundation Dinner Gala to help raise funds for a regional cancer center filled quickly, many southern Illinoisans are asking how they can still support the event.
The SIH Foundation is offering honorary votive candles to be on display during the April 12 event at the SIU Student Center ballrooms to fill the need.
“The support has been fantastic. We have received calls from countless individuals over the last week asking how they can play a part in the fundraiser. These votive candles are available to memorialize or honor loved ones who have been touched by cancer,” said SIH Director of Fund Development Gene Honn. “The candles will be lit and on display that evening with a name represented on each, which will create a moving ambience. Lighting a candle is a great way to support our Hope is Home campaign and the need for a cancer center in our area.”
Anyone may purchase a votive candle and need not be present at the event to support in this way. To do so, visit www.sihfoundationdinner.com.
