TAKE THE TRIP FOUNDATION

When a high school friend sent Charlotte LiveLung member, Cissy Carroll and her family on a trip to Florida earlier this year, the Carrolls realized the need for young families impacted by terminal illnesses to take a memorable trip together. Thus, Take the Trip Foundation was founded.

Take The Trip Foundation aims to send 50 families annually on a family trip to help create cherished memories for loved ones while also giving inspired community members far and wide the opportunity to pay it forward through volunteer efforts and charitable contributions.
