I’m in. Events. and Base Camp
Children’s Cancer Foundation representatives
are gearing up to cohost
more than 800 supporters from
all over Central Florida and beyond
for Black and White Weekend. The
event was first envisioned in 2000
in an intensive care unit hospital bed
when a near-fatal case of pneumonia
almost claimed the life of entrepreneur,
philanthropist, University of
Central Florida Hall of Famer, and Dr.
Phillips resident Heissam Jebailey.
Immediately prior to a miracle surgery
that cured him, Heissam envisioned
black and white colors, as well as
making it out of surgery alive, to host
a big event for family and friends
while giving back to the community.
The ninth annual Black and White
Weekend for Charity and Wellness
will take place from May 11-12, 2018.
Admission is $45 in advance and
$60 at the door, if not sold out, with
access to the entire weekend. The
cost includes food and drink specials,
music, a photo booth, ongoing entertainment
and more. Sponsorships are
also available. For more information,
