FAMILY WEEKEND
In March 2026, TLC will be hosting their first-ever TLC Family Weekend Retreat. 24 families have been invited for a weekend of laughter, rest, and togetherness. Every kid is matched with a volunteer “fun finder” tasked with ensuring an unforgettable weekend.
While kids are having fun, parents will be treated to adult conversation with other parents who truly “get it.” Joy and connection become a shelter in a storm.
KIND WORDS FROM TLC FAMILIES
“Having the kids around other families in the same situation is a blessing…
and having a day as a family where we are taken care of and do not have to stress about anything is so incredible. Being a part of the TLC family has made things in our journey a little bit lighter.”
- A TLC FAMILY
“Words cannot describe how much The Light Collective meant to our family throughout treatment.
You truly understand what it means to go through treatment, and provide a safe, thoughtful way for us to have a fun day together as a family, and feel less alone. We will hold on to these memories forever.”
- A TLC FAMILY
SAFE & FUN ENVIRONMENTS
EVERY FAMILY CARED FOR
The Light Collective partners with medical professionals, nurses, social workers and child life specialists at the Ronald McDonald House as well as Seattle Children’s Hospital. Each event and box is created to ensure these families feel safe.
