The 2011 CHLA
Celebrate Life with Hope event is a place where childhood cancer
survivors and their families get together to meet with hospital
staff and local/national support agencies. In addition to enjoying
food and fun, the event emphasizes health promotion and wellness
through proper nutrition, exercise and self-care. It was held on
the New York City back lot of Paramount Studios making the day even
more special for the children.
IFF's booth
included a fun event for the children where they decorated sun glasses
with jewels, stickers and other items. IFF used this forum to help
educate parents on the importance of looking out for the well-being
of the entire family when their child has been diagnosed with a
serious illness. It was a great way to share our core services and
open doors to families who may need help during a very difficult
time.
