Tripp - One ELLE of a Charleston/Outer Banks Show Adventure
Tripp, a 16 year-old from Derby, Kansas is a huge fan of the show Outer Banks and wished for a trip to Charleston to visit the filming locations, sleep with an ocean view and eat great food.
Trip and his parents travelled to Charleston, staying at the Wild Dunes Resort on the Isle of Palms so he could experience the peace of the ocean and walking on the beach.
His many experiences in Charleston included a private tour of the OBX filming locations in Charleston, with a special stop at the Ben Silver Collection, a sunset cruise of OBX filming locations with Charleston Outdoor Adventures, and another dinner at the Ocean Course on Kiawah Island - the same restaurant where many Outer Banks scenes were filmed. On his flight home the Delta Airlines team provided the sweetest ending to the getaway by showering him with tremendous support and encouragement.
Here is a note from Trip’s mother on what the wish meant to the family – “We are forever grateful to ELLE Foundation for making Tripp’s wish to visit the Outerbanks filming locations, sleep with an ocean view and eat great food come true! Thanks to Laurie Richmond - in honor of her daughter Elle - Tripp doesn’t have to think about scans or treatment - instead he gets to escape in the sound of the waves and the beauty around him.”

Keaton - One ELLE of a Zion National Park & Antelope Canyon Family Adventure
Keaton, a 13 year-old from Brazil, Indiana, wanted to explore Utah with his family and experience nature's beauty at Zion National Park and Antelope Canyon.
A fabulous family time, documented by the many photos that avid photographer Keaton took, was had by the whole family.
Adventures included a stay at the Zion Mountain Buffalo Ranch, a hike in the Zion Narrows, complete with wetsuits (on Keaton’s must-do list), and a guided tour of Antelope Canyon. The trip ended with a stay at the Paris Las Vegas Hotel!
His family sent this lovely note to ELLE:
"We wanted to say thank you to the ELLE Foundation for granting Keaton's wish to go to Zion National Park and Antelope Canyon! The trip came together quickly and in perfect timing! Keaton had scans the week we got back and that trip allowed us to forget about all things cancer for a week and just enjoy quality time together with family. It was amazing!! We still can't believe it honestly! It was like a dream come true for Keaton and our entire family! This blessing was much needed!"
From Keaton:
Thank you for granting my wish to go to Zion National Park and Antelope Canyon. I have wanted to go there for a long time and you made that possible! I got to hike the Narrows which was one of the main things on my list while there. Antelope Canyon was crazy and more than I expected. Our last night in Vegas we stayed in a cool hotel and I got to see the lights at night. My big brother got to go which made it even more fun! Thank You!!
