What We Do
our background
In 2017, the Fisher family created the Baystar Family Retreat, a faith-based, all-inclusive retreat for pediatric cancer patients and their families in the Tampa Bay area. Each retreat is designed as a way to offer families time to relax and spend time together as well as the opportunity to meet other families fighting the battle without the worry of hospitals, treatments and financial impacts.
With the goal to give families hope on which to stay strong during the battle with cancer, family retreats are designed to help families develop a local community network for support, information, resources, share experiences and fellowship. For many this may be the last vacation they experience together as a family.
