Stage4Hope is excited to share that we were recently featured in The Laurel Magazine in an article highlighting our partnership with the Bear Shadow Music Festival. The piece showcases our Founder, Stacy Carter’s, journey in developing Stage4Hope, along with her vision for the Ferngrove campus as the future of the Stage4Hope Retreat and Wellness Center and the permanent home of Bear Shadow.
Bear Shadow will take place May 29–31, 2026. Proceeds from Friday night’s benefit concert will go directly to Stage4Hope to fund travel expenses to support cancer patients’ access to advanced treatment.
The article also highlights the exciting future of Ferngrove, creating opportunities for additional events in the years ahead, from smaller performances and donor gatherings to wellness-focused programming that can live alongside the festival weekend. It’s a model designed to support Bear Shadow’s presence and longevity while providing Stage4Hope with a vibrant, community-centered platform to strengthen our mission of providing advanced cancer patients and caregivers the support they need.
