Heart of Passion Red Carpet Day

Four days and three nights, all-expense-paid VIP trip to New Orleans with other teens with cancer from across the Southeast

Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama hospital groups will be picked up by motorcoach at their hospitals right after lunch on Monday.  They will get home by lunchtime on Thursday.

All other hospital groups will meet Heart of Passion volunteers at their nearest airport the Monday morning and will be picked up at the airport on Thursday afternoon.

Guests are teens with cancer ages 13-19

• Currently in treatment or off no more than a year
• Extra consideration for teens who have been homebound or faced relapse
• Defer to hospital for who would most benefit

Hosts are teen volunteers who want to help make sure their peers are comfortable and having fun!

Chaperones are adults who keep everyone safe.

• HoP chaperones are assigned to each hospital group. They fly with the groups and serve as an adult touch-point for guests and parents.
• HoP medical staff supervise health and well-being of guests for the week, checking with doctors and parents for special needs, and staffing the “chill” room where basic infirmary and rest needs are met.

A four-day retreat for teens with cancer including a visit to a theme park, day spa, and social events to bond with other teens who share their experiences.

Heart of Passion is the core of outreach for teens with cancer. Our Motto: For Teens From Teens! is centered on high school student leaders from Atlanta, Charlotte, and New Orleans dedicated to bringing fun to fellow teens who happen to have cancer.

Through our Red Carpet Day (RCD) retreats, we provide positive unique experiences for teens with cancer to anticipate, enjoy, and make memories to share – positive memories to help balance out the negative uniqueness that cancer brings to their everyday lives. We hold annual retreats in 3 major cities. Candidates are selected through local hospitals and social workers.
