CARRIE-LYNN GRAZETTE
CANCER FOUNDATION ATL.INC

This organization provides financial aid to Barbadian children with
cancer and their families. The organization received its name as a tribute
to Carrie-Lynn Grazette, who was the very first person to benefit from
our donations.
 
Carrie-Lynn a teenager diagnosed with leukemia, was from St. Philip
Barbados. We first met Carrie-Lynn while she was receiving treatment
as a patient at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital Memphis TN. A group of
Barbadians living in Atlanta initially decided to organize a fundraiser to
assist the Grazette family. The group sponsored the inaugural Barbados
Day in Atlanta on Memorial Day weekend, 2015 as a fundraiser to bring
awareness to our cause. We made our donation to give additional support, on
top of what St Jude had already given, to the family during their stay in
Memphis, TN. Encouraged by the success of the fundraising effort, The
Carrie-Lynn Grazette Cancer Foundation of Atlanta, Inc. was founded.
 
This foundation aims to identify children diagnosed with cancer, who
live in Barbados, and to assist them financially. The organization is
committed to providing hope to these children and their families as it
assists them with finances needed for medical care and educates them
about treatments and resources that may not be accessible to them in
Barbados.
​
We look forward to partnering with other organizations, medical
professionals, businesses, and individuals to raise funds to help young
Barbadian children diagnosed with cancer and to raise cancer awareness.
