The escape families need. When they need it the most.
Island Getaways,
Free of Charge
Vineyard Havens gives the gift of time away, and time together, to families facing cancer.
There’s just no other place like Martha’s Vineyard. It’s an island made famous for its beaches, shopping, restaurants and some of the most beautiful sunsets in all of New England. It’s a destination that feels a world away, despite being just 7 miles off the coast of Massachusetts. We can’t think of a more magical place to send families facing cancer for a vacation they’ll never forget.
As a 501(c)(3) non profit, we are so grateful for donations which make it possible for us to offer respite weeks to families who truly need them the most.
