Caribbean Cruise Line And The Children Battling Cancer Foundation Partner To Create "Hope On Water"
Caribbean Cruise Line has partnered with the Children Battling Cancer Foundation to create Hope On Water for families suffering from pediatric cancer. Caribbean Cruise Line Reviews the results of this program going into its second year.
Online, February 23, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Since December of 2009, Caribbean Cruise Line has partnered with The Children Battling Cancer Foundation to create their "Hope On Water" campaign.
Each month, Caribbean Cruise Lines sends a child with cancer along with his or her family on an all expense paid vacation cruise on its Bahamas Celebration ship. These cruises become much more than a mere vacation for families facing illness and the leading cause of death in children, pediatric cancer. For them these wonderful Caribbean Cruises are an opportunity to create quality family time and to build fond memories at a time when hope can seem so far away.
The mission of the Children Battling Cancer Foundation is to "bridge the gap between the community and families battling childhood cancer by raising awareness within the community while bringing practical help and lasting hope directly to the families of childhood cancer." The Children Battling Cancer Foundation and Caribbean Cruise Line understand that when confronted with a diagnosis of pediatric cancer, the entire family suffers and not just the child facing the disease. This is why the Hope On Water program is so very important.
Caribbean Cruise Line staff makes sure that the siblings and parents are treated with the upmost care and concern to insure they have some much needed relaxation and fun while aboard the ship. To assist in this, each Hope On Water trip is tailor made to insure the individual needs of the child and family are carefully considered. Caribbean Cruise Lines, along with Children Battling Cancer, consider the age of the child and siblings, the size of the family and other factors when creating each Hope On Water Experience to insure everyone has the dream vacation cruise of a lifetime.
The joys and memories made on these trips help offset the painfully real and burdensome days these children and their families face each and every day and Caribbean Cruise Line is proud to do its part.
