Rally Gulf Coast, the regional branch of the Rally Foundation for Childhood Cancer Research, will host a heartfelt Candlelight Vigil on Monday, September 8, 2025, from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. outside the main entrance of Studer Family Children’s Hospital at Ascension Sacred Heart, One Bubba Watson Drive, Pensacola, FL.

This free, community-centered gathering—held in partnership with Studer Family Children’s Hospital—will honor children affected by childhood cancer: those currently in treatment, survivors, and children who are dearly remembered. Attendees will receive candles to create a unified display of light, hope, and solidarity.

Guests are asked to park on the 4th floor of the 9th Avenue parking garage.

The Candlelight Vigil is part of Rally Gulf Coast’s observance of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, held each September to unite communities in recognition, advocacy, and hope for children and families impacted by childhood cancer. Throughout the month, Rally Gulf Coast will host additional awareness events, with the Candlelight Vigil serving as a poignant opportunity for the community to come together, reflect, and show support.
