Cruise Planners’ CP Cares Initiative Supports Blood Cancer Awareness Month

September marks Blood Cancer Awareness Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness and supporting the fight against leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma.
Cruise Planners, the nation’s leading travel advisor network, is proud to reaffirm its commitment to this cause through its philanthropic initiative, CP Cares, and longstanding support of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS).
CP Cares, the charitable arm of Cruise Planners, has been a driving force in the company’s efforts to give back to the community. Through CP Cares, the Cruise Planners family has helped raise over $3 million for LLS and blood cancer research, thanks to the support of its travel advisors, staff, and industry partners.

Cruise Planners’ founders, Michelle Fee and the late Vicky Garcia, were both honored as “Women of the Year” by the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society for their remarkable fundraising efforts. Vicky Garcia raised $115,000 followed by Michelle Fee who raised a record $292,000, during her campaign. Their leadership and commitment have inspired the entire Cruise Planners network to rally around the cause, with fundraising efforts continuing to grow year after year.
Through a variety of activities, CP Cares has brought the Cruise Planners community and fellow travel partners together to raise funds and spread awareness about blood cancers:
Light The Night Walks: Cruise Planners advisors, clients, and team members have participated in LLS’s Light the Night events across the country. These walks honor survivors, remember loved ones lost, and raise vital funds to support cancer research.
Local Events & Auctions: From silent auctions to charity dinners, Cruise Planners has hosted countless events to raise funds for blood cancer research. These events not only support research but also build awareness in local communities.
Corporate Matching: Cruise Planners Home Office has amplified the impact of its fundraising by matching donations made by advisors and employees, doubling the contributions to LLS and other blood cancer charities.

Blood cancers affect millions of people globally, and many within the Cruise Planners network have been personally touched by these diseases. “At Cruise Planners, we know that the fight against blood cancers is personal,” said Michelle Fee, CEO and Founder of Cruise Planners. “Our commitment to supporting research and patient services through CP Cares comes from a place of deep empathy for those impacted by these life-threatening illnesses.”
In honor of Blood Cancer Awareness Month, Cruise Planners encourages the community to get involved. Whether through donations, participating in a local fundraising event, or simply spreading awareness, every action makes a difference. Together, we can bring hope to those battling blood cancers.
