Legacy Retreats®

 
Precious Smiles. Priceless Memories. All for young families facing the loss of a parent.
Inheritance of Hope’s signature offering is the Legacy Retreat®, an all-expenses-paid experience where families with children under 18 create lifelong memories while receiving the tools to navigate the challenges of a parent's terminal illness.

It’s more than a trip -- we bring families together from across the country, families who actually understand the challenges of your situation. We provide legacy development resources, volunteers who are eager to help with everything from childcare to carrying luggage, and hope -- all to help you thrive despite the uncertainty you face. You get time as a family as well as sessions designed for each member of your family -- diagnosed parent, caregiver, and children of all ages. Licensed counselors are also available throughout your Retreat.

To date, families from 44 states have experienced a life-changing Legacy Retreat®.
 
Space is filled on a first-come, first-served basis, so we encourage applying now.
