Founded by a pediatric oncology nurse who witnessed the devastating impact childhood cancer has on the entire family, Lighthouse Family Retreat was formed in 1999 as a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping families living through this horrific disease. Childhood cancer turns a family’s life upside down; weeks, months and years of treatment put a strain on daily routines, finances and family relationships. By providing seaside retreats at no cost to families, Lighthouse Family Retreat provides opportunities through strategic activities for families to rest, restore relationships, experience joy and ultimately find hope.
The American Cancer Society estimates that around 10,380 children, under the age of 15, will be diagnosed with cancer this year alone.

Patients need to be able to think about things other than their sicknesses, their siblings need individual attention, and their parents need time to work on their marriage. Lighthouse seeks to meet each of these needs with compassion, understanding, and excellence.
