What is Charlene’s Dream?
Charlene’s Dream is a warm and welcoming haven for those with cancer, seeking to get information. It is a resource center, wrapped up to look like a boutique! It’s a place to try on wigs, hats, mastectomy bras, lymphedema sleeves and breast prostheses. It is a place where ALL cancer patients can feel free to ask questions and get FREE help and assistance.
Charlene’s Dream is a 100% volunteer run program. Our facilitators are oncology (cancer) professionals and many are cancer survivors themselves.
The fourth annual Bowman Cares Event, an initiative where Ormond Beach company Bowman Painting teams up with a local nonprofit organization to make a positive impact, benefitted Charlene’s Dream with a transformation of their host church.
On Nov. 2, a team from Bowman Painting painted the Seabreeze UCC church hall, according to a press release. The initiative was set in motion in August, after information about the Bowman Cares Event was forwarded to the Charlene’s Dream board. While the cottage boutique — which helps women diagnosed with cancer — didn’t need painting, the church hall did. Charlene’s Dream cottage is a free-standing building on the campus of the church.
“Our goal for the Bowman Cares Event is simple: to enhance and beautify a space that serves those in need,” Bowman Painting said in its announcement about its initiative. “We believe that a fresh, vibrant environment can uplift spirits and inspire hope, and we want to extend this opportunity to a non-profit organization that aligns with our vision of community support and enrichment.”
Bowman Painting builds a stronger team by giving our time and resources to help a variety of causes that are meaningful and impactful.
