FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

LOCAL CHARITY GIVES DAY OF RELAXATION TO GIRL BATTLING LEUKEMIA

Local spa provides relief from rigorous chemotherapy regimen

WHO: Casey Cares Foundation, a non-profit charity that provides uplifting and ongoing programs with a special touch to critically ill children and their families throughout the Mid-Atlantic area, will provide a calming afternoon of relaxation for a South Jersey mother/daughter pair who has earned a well-deserved break from traveling back and forth to chemotherapy treatments at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP).

WHAT: The 501(c)3 nonprofit organization has arranged a Spa Day for Cassidy V, a 12 year old girl suffering from leukemia. Casey Cares family Cassidy and her mother, Kim, are being treated to a day of relaxation and pampering thanks to Bernard’s Salon and Spa. Both ladies will receive massages as a way to bond together outside of traveling to CHOP weekly for Cassidy’s intense chemotherapy doses. After visiting the spa, the pair will enjoy a 2:30 p.m. meal generously provided by Caffe Aldo Lamberti.

WHEN: Tuesday, August 26 at 12:45 p.m.

WHERE: Bernard’s Salon and Spa

100 Springdale Rd

Cherry Hill, NJ 08003

WHY: Casey Cares Foundation offers special events that bring smiles and lift the spirits of critically ill children and their families. As a regional charity, Casey Cares Foundation allows for each event to become a personalized experience, and tailors activities to the interests and schedules of the individual recipient. “For Cassidy, a day at the spa couldn’t have come at a more perfect time”, said Casidy’s mom, Kim. “The side effects of Cassidy’s chemotherapy treatments have left Cassidy with muscle aches and pains, so a massage will no doubt help her feel much better.”
