Hi! My name is Caitlin Brennan, a junior at the Academy of the Sacred Heart, and one of the teen leaders at Heart of Passion. Us teen leaders are in the process of planning and searching to fund the annual "Red Carpet Day," a 4-day VIP retreat for teens with cancer in New Orleans, LA this summer. Red Carpet Day is a chance for teens with cancer who come from all over the southeast region to experience the ultimate New Orleans area. For breakfast, they eat in front of the shark tank at the aquarium, vibe and relax on the Creole Queen riverboat, and tour the city's best qualities, but most importantly of all, they bond and create new best friends away from the challenges of hospital life. During these 4 days, these children transform from "cancer kids" to "extraordinary teenagers." As a first-year member working through the planning stages, I can already see how deeply it connects guests, leaders, and mentors who've experienced it before, leaving a lasting impression on all involved. Please consider donating to this amazing, life-changing cause. Any amount is appreciated - for even a donation of $20 can buy a guest one meal during the retreat.
