ORLANDO, Fla. — Brightline and Orlando Health have teamed up to provide a special experience for families impacted by pediatric cancer, as part of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.
On Saturday, September 13, five families from Orlando Health’s Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children took part in the ‘Conductor for a Day’ event at Brightline’s Basecamp maintenance facility in Orlando.
During the event, children will have the chance to wear Brightline train conductor hats and sit in the engineer’s seat of a locomotive, creating a fun and memorable experience. Both organizations emphasize that it’s a wonderful opportunity to raise awareness for pediatric cancers and to support the families who bravely face these challenges every day.
Participants can enjoy a behind-the-scenes tour of the Brightline maintenance facility to see how trains are cared for and operated. The event will be fun with Orlando Health mascot Scrubs, who will join children in taking Brightline’s rail safety pledge.
