Renew Hope
Our Smiles Program
Our Smiles Program is the heartbeat of our organization. It exists to remind every Warrior that they deserve moments away from the stress of cancer to breathe, relax, and simply be a person again. Through this program, we send Warriors and their families on fully expense-paid vacations, giving them the chance to reconnect, refresh, and experience joy without the weight of treatments or financial worry.
The idea for this program came from one of our most beloved Board Members, Bryan Avaylon. Bryan believed deeply in creating meaningful moments of happiness for those fighting the hardest battles. Although he passed in (2022), his compassion and vision live on through every smile, every memory created, and every Warrior we send on a life-changing trip in his honor.
With the help of our generous hotel and resort partners, we are able to provide these vacations as more than just getaways. They become opportunities for healing, hope, and unforgettable experiences. Bryan’s dream continues to grow, touching lives one magical moment at a time.
