The following information is from Phoenix Children's Hospital.
Ignite Hope was inspired by a 15-year-old cancer patient whose friends held a candlelight vigil outside her Hospital window right before Christmas in 2011. The patient watched from her window and shone her light back at them. The group outside ended up bringing hope to not only their friend, but to other patients looking out of their windows as well.
Join us Saturday, December 12, 2015 as we Ignite Hope for the patients who are hospitalized during the holidays. The 4th Annual Ignite Hope candlelight walk promises to be an inspirational event for the whole family. The 2-mile walk to the Hospital begins at The Phoenix Plaza (Central & Thomas) with a family-friendly event that includes superheroes, face painting, music, refreshments and a visit from Santa Claus. As walkers arrive in front of the Hospital, Phoenix Children's patients will hold candles in their windows to welcome them. Following a short program and holiday carols with patients and special guests, the Phoenix Children's Christmas tree will be lit. At the conclusion of the event, walkers will return to Phoenix Plaza either on foot or via a free shuttle. Participants are invited to bring a new, unwrapped toy to put under the tree for Phoenix Children's Hospital patients.
