Every year Candlelighters urges the community to get involved in pink themed fundraising activities to support children and families affected by childhood cancer. ‘Pink It Up’ is the charity’s flagship campaign. Since 2019 Candlelighters have encouraged people across Yorkshire to help them paint the county pink through various, pink-themed fundraising activities and challenges to raise funds and awareness.

This year’s week-long fundraising event saw businesses, schools and communities across Yorkshire throwing their all into pink themed fundraising to raise money for children with cancer. From bake sales, parties and crafting activities to fancy dress competitions and window display decorating, the people of Yorkshire came together to show their solidarity for children with cancer.
At Little Learners, a nursery in Kippax, the staff and children really got stuck into fundraising with lots of activities across the week. From the children throwing flour, water and pies at staff, to a bake sale and a sponsored walk around the local community, everyone had lots of fun and raised almost £1,600. And at Clarion Solicitors in Leeds , staff enjoyed raising funds for the worthy cause by holding a pink dress-up day and decorating their office pink.
