LESLIE’S WEEK RETREAT4STAGE4 - A Week of Healing, Strength, and Support for Stage 4 Breast Cancer Women
August 2, - August 7, 2026
LESLIE’S WEEK is honored to invite women living with Stage 4 Breast Cancer to our annual RETREAT4STAGE4, taking place from August 2 to August 7th, 2026. This transformative RETREAT offers a safe and serene environment where participants can connect, heal, and rejuvenate both emotionally and physically, surrounded by others who understand the unique challenges of metastatic breast cancer.
Our carefully curated RETREAT provides a balance of emotional support programs, family time to celebrate life together, and moments of peace. It is an opportunity to escape the demands of daily life and focus on self-care, empowerment, and the sense of community that LESLIE’S WEEK is known for.
Our RETREAT4STAGE4 accommodates between 4 to 6 family members. LESLIE'S WEEK pays for the Accommodations, the Welcome Reception breakfast and activities, the FAMILY DAY CELEBRATION OF LIFE BBQ dinner, the CIRCLE4STAGE4, the HANDS4GIVERS, the CLUB4KIDS, the DREAMS4TEENS events, and the Gift Bags for our Stage 4 BC women. Transportation and other meals are not included. Families in financial stress may be eligible for a travel grant.
We will select 25 Stage 4 Breast Cancer women & their families for our 2026 RETREAT4STAGE4. This experience is held at the Dollywood DreamMore Resort in the Tennessee Smoky Mountains, on Sunday, August 2nd, 2026 check-in and Friday, August 7, 2026 check-out. The LESLIE'S WEEK Welcome Reception Breakfast and our four Programs for our families are held in the beautiful DreamMore Conference Center on Monday, August 3rd. We host the CIRCLE4STAGE4 for our women, the HANDS4GIVERS for our husband caregivers, the CLUB4KIDS for children 12 and under, and DREAMS4TEENS 13 to 18. These events are exclusively for our families to Meet & Greet, form bonds, share their stories, network, and create a community of engagement to link up with their new friends for the week's family activities.
The FAMILY DAY CELEBRATION OF LIFE BBQ is hosted in the DreamMore Conference Center next to Dolly’s tour bus on Wednesday, August 5th from 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm.
This week is for the family to spend time together and enjoy their Week Away from Cancer.
At LESLIE’S WEEK, we believe that every woman deserves to feel supported and understood, especially when facing the challenges of Stage 4 breast cancer. Our RETREAT4STAGE4 creates an oasis of care, compassion, and resilience, where healing begins, and lifelong friendships are made.
We invite you to join us for this incredible week of connection, care, and courage. Don’t miss the chance to nominate someone for this transformative experience!
