Each year, Cancer Alliance Network (CAN) hosts a weekend respite for its youngest cancer warriors and their families. Known as the CAN Family Weekend Retreat, the event is held at Hyatt Coconut Point Resort in June and offers an opportunity for families to create special memories and escape the everyday stresses of cancer at no cost to them.
By sponsoring a family, local businesses and individuals can contribute to this unforgettable weekend getaway. Donations help fund a variety of experiences for participating families, including:
- Breakfast and lunch for one family for one day – $50
- Dinner for one family for one night – $100
- One night resort stay for one family – $250
- Two-night resort stay for one family – $500
“There’s no such thing as a normal childhood when battling cancer,” says Neftali Feliciano, CEO of Cancer Alliance Network. “The CAN Family Weekend Retreat gives these children and their families an opportunity to play, enjoy meals together and spend quality time with one another. It’s truly a special weekend, and we’re thankful to all who help make it a reality.”
Interested donors can sponsor a family for the CAN Family Weekend Retreat online. For more information about Cancer Alliance Network, visit CancerAllianceNetwork.org.
