About Lynn Wheeler

As the Executive Director for Candlelighters Childhood Cancer Family Alliance, I have the privilege of managing an amazing team! Our mission is to provide emotional, educational and practical support to children with cancer and their families in the Greater Houston area. All of our services are free to the families we have the honor of serving. I am proud to have been with Candlelighters for over 20 years. I have years of professional experience in non profit management and fundraising experience as well as Public Relations, operations, Event Management and communication. My greatest strength is my ability to lead others. My most important goal is to continue improving the visibility for a nonprofit organization while raising its revenues to an excellent level, which will allow them to grow by meeting all their goals. This allows the organization to become more efficient and effective in their daily activities that will improve the impact of the organization. It had been a true honor to serve in the non profit sector for so many years.
