A donation to help create a magical night.
TUCSON, Ariz. — Prom can be one of the best nights of high school, but some don't get the chance to go.
"It's just a way to really honor the teens and their process of treatment," Beverley Tidwell, the Candlelighters Program Director, said."Sometimes they are in treatment for over three years so it's just a long grueling experience.""Because the average age of a child diagnosed with cancer is six, there's not so many things for the teens so a prom is really something that appeals to them," Tidwell added.
Globus works locally for Geico and heard about the donations through her work. For the Candlelighters, these were welcome donations.
