Have-A-Heart Gala

Dear Friends of Candlelighters,

Candlelighters of Brevard invites you to join us as we celebrate our annual Have-A-Heart Gala. We look forward to having you join us for the event of the year on Saturday, February 28, 2026 at the Eau Gallie Yacht Club. Guests will enjoy dinner, premium bar, entertainment, and a spectacular auction to make the night complete.

The Have-A-Heart Gala is Candlelighters’ only major signature event, so we need your support! We humbly invite you to join us for an exclusive and elegant evening with our community as we come together to support children battling cancer. This event raises the dollars needed to provide programs and services to local pediatric cancer families throughout the year. Our event sponsors ensure that children won’t fight cancer alone! Candlelighters’ emotional support and financial assistance programs impact children in Brevard and Indian River Counties. To date, nearly 100 Candlelighter families benefit annually from 20 programs and services that help alleviate the overwhelming financial and emotional burdens associated with their diagnosis.

By securing your event sponsorship, you can ensure this much-needed assistance continues to be provided to families in our community. Sponsorships will be limited, so please confirm at your earliest convenience. Commitments are requested by December 15, 2025. For more information or questions, please call 321.728.5600 or visit https://HAH2026.givesmart.com. We invite you to make a difference in the world of children battling cancer. Their inspirational stories make our community a better place because generous donors, like you, help pave a pathway through diagnosis and treatment. Thank you for honoring our Candlelighter children through your consideration of becoming a Have-A-Heart Sponsor!

Sincerely,
Candlelighters of Brevard Executive Staff & Board of Directors
