The 9th Annual Brooke E. Posey Swim-a-Thon & Family FUNraiser proudly announces that our 2025 recipient is Heart of Passion!
As a 16-year-old with cancer, Savannah Solomon wanted a break for her hospital friends, and she planned a weekend retreat for other teens with cancer to hang out, feel like VIPs, and just be teens. She named this retreat “Red Carpet Day,” and her friends from school helped her host the event.
"For the 20 years since then, our “for teens, from teens” programming model has allowed Heart of Passion to connect teens living with cancer to each other to form an emotional support structure in an environment that only teens themselves could create. Simultaneously, our teen leaders personally experience the value and purpose of their work and compassion while they themselves plan and execute each summer’s retreat." - Savannah Solomon
