Before her Best Damn Tour stop at the Philips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia last month, a group of middle and high school students from the T.C. Thompson Children’s Hospital group Adolescents Together Against Cancer (ATAC) got the chance to go back stage and meet Avril Lavigne. ATAC is a support group for young adults who are battling cancer. (If you remember, Avril also met a fan with muscular dystrophy last month.)
Dr. Eric Gratias, a pediatric oncologist at the Children’s Hospital, praised our Avril, saying, “It is really wonderful to see a celebrity who is so generous with her time. This was an incredible experience that this group of kids will cherish for the rest of their lives. We are extremely grateful for the generosity of Avril Lavigne and her staff for giving our amazing kids the opportunity to spend a few minutes with her before the concert, as well as upgrading our tickets to stage front.”
That’s such a wonderful thing for Avril to do, don’t you think?
