"This cause holds profound meaning for our team," expressed Julie Cotton, Director of Talent and Community Partnerships at Absolute Dental. "It is our privilege to partner with Candlelighters and the families they support. We aim to change lives—one smile and one act of kindness at a time."
Fundraising Initiatives and Community Engagement
Since their partnership began in 2019, Absolute Dental has played a crucial role in amplifying the mission of Candlelighters through various signature fundraising events. These include:
Community Events
- Absolute Dental Cares Day held in collaboration with Cowabunga Waterparks.

- Candlelighters Nights associated with local baseball games featuring the Reno Aces and Las Vegas Aviators.
These initiatives not only generate crucial funding but also foster community spirit, bringing together families, patients, and various community partners in support of Nevada's youngest cancer fighters.
Gratitude and Recognition for Support
