Candle of Hope Launch

As part of Relay For Life, everyone is invited to dedicate a Candle of Hope to someone they know who has been touched by cancer. 

These candles will then be lit and dedicated on the 20th of July in a very special Candle of Hope Ceremony, which takes place at The Watershed at dusk. These luminaries line the track all night and act as a reminder for Relay participants circling the track of the courageous men, women and children who have battled cancer.

Relay for Life Kilkenny will be launching the Candle of Hope on 2 November at 4:15 pm at The Tholsel on High Street, Kilkenny. On that same day, we'll also be selling the Candles of Hope from 1 pm to 5 pm. Come along and dedicate your luminary and find out more about Kilkenny's first Relay for Life. 

We would like to ensure that as many people in Kilkenny County have the opportunity to buy a luminary in honour of or in memory of a loved one who has fought cancer, so if you would like to volunteer to sell luminaries in your community, please do get in touch with us by email, Facebook, or Twitter!
