Welcome

Support Team

Founder, Penny Cunningham

January of 2013 marks sixteen years since Penny's sister, Candy, passed away due to cancer. As Penny reflected over those years, she is very thankful for the many friends that she has made, the many sponsors that have come forward, and the many volunteers that have made our organization strong. But most of all, she is thankful for all the cancer patients that Candy's Place has been able to help.

With recent changes that have been implemented at the Center so that many more cancer patients can be reached, the mission has not and will not change. "Our vision helps us focus on the future," said Penny, "and that is to be the leading resource for non-medical cancer support and services to the Wyoming Valley region."

Candy's Place's hope is that you will continue to partner with us as we support and care for those who are in the battle of their lives.

Executive Director, Chris Ostroski

Center Assistant, Wendy Lindars

Wendy started at Candy's Place as a volunteer, working on Friday afternoons as a receptionist and updating the Facebook page on a weekly basis. The Center’s “computer girl,” she brings with her over 10 years’ worth of experience in editing, writing, and designing for the newspaper industry. She worked as a copy editor for The Times Leader and the Daily Local News in West Chester. Wendy holds a bachelors in English from East Stroudsburg University and a masters in communications from Marywood University.

Facility Coordinator, Jack Ganz

Jack Ganz, lovingly known as our "Jack of all trades," cares for whatever needs doing at the Center. From installing new computer systems and hard drives to putting together cabinets and work areas, Jack does it all. He is exactly what every organization needs to make its facility operate on a daily basis.
Jack has worked in the telecommunications field for more than 40 years, acquiring him a wide variety of experience which he has generously shared with us, accomplishing the work necessary to keep us well cared for and operational during his many years here.

Bookkeeper, Martha Tilghman

Martha Tilghman comes to The Center with years of bookkeeping experience. A retired school librarian from West Side Tech, she has a soft heart for those who are fighting the fight against cancer. In addition to bookkeeping, Martha also volunteers when needed as The Center's receptionist when needed.
