RETREAT4STAGE4: DollyWood Tickets for LW Families
Tax deductible
Stage 4 Breast Cancer is a Family disease. Our 2022 LESLIE’S WEEK Honoree
families facing this terminal disease need your help. Due to a policy change at
Dollywood Corporation, where donated tickets are no longer available to out-of-state cancer patients, LESLIE’S WEEK needs to purchase theme park tickets for families attending the retreat away from cancer.
Why donate?
Families need to make memories with their mother before she succumbs to her Stage 4 Breast Cancer. Trust me when I say it is the Memories that carry you through the dark times after you lose your spouse and mother of your children.
What makes the retreat special?
Families need the lasting connections that LESLIE’S WEEK offers. Moms get a chance to be together and network in their CIRCLE4STAGE4 program. Dads get together in their HANDS4GIVERS program and face tough talk about caring for the kids when mom is gone. The kids have fun and happiness in their CLUB4KIDS art experience program creating art pieces for their moms! They make friends with other kids who walk in their shoes. They build friendships with kids that last a lifetime. Meaningful relationships form where moms, dads, and kids have someone to turn to when the s—t hits the fan.
When Sarah was diagnosed with cancer and given 2 years to live, we focused on
treatment and making memories. We were lucky to have amazing family and friends to help us on the journey. Organizations like LESLIE’S WEEK helped with their vision of bringing together isolated families with their Stage 4 disease.
When grief hits me, and it often does, I stop to reflect on the incredible experiences we were able to have that week away from cancer at the DreamMore Resort in the Smoky Mountains with all our new LESLIE’S WEEK friends.
I am asking you to donate to buy the Dollywood tickets for the 2022 Honorees and their families so you may help bring joy and peace to our Stage 4 BC families who need this joyful experience of laughter, fun, and hugging, screaming, running — Dollywood a place to Make Memories! Memories are 4ever!
We need to raise $14,500 for every member of our Stage 4 MBC families to have this
Dollywood experience. If we raise more, the extra money will be equally divided, and
each family will receive an envelope of cash to spend in the park.
Group Discounted Tickets are:
- 1 ticket: $55.00
- Support a Family: $220
- Or contribute what you can to Making Memories that last a lifetime
