Children’s Hospital patient will be designing a candy themed castle at Crave Golf Club! The magic and fun continue to grow with the new renovations to their rooftop course! Along with the candy- themed course, a new castle will be built! In addition to the new renovations, Crave has also partnered with East Tennessee Children’s Hospital and a bright patient who wants to make this the most jaw-dropping castle yet!
Meet Jaylen 
9-year-old Jaylen is a small-but-mighty girl with an imagination that shines through. She is intelligent, fun-loving, and creative. She has been fighting a brain tumor called Pilocytic Astrocytoma for over 6 years. The location of her tumor makes it inoperable, and her doctors are keeping it from growing with chemotherapy. East Tennessee Children’s Hospital is providing her the best treatment and most wonderful life possible. As the staff got to know her, one thing was apparent: This. Girl. Loves. Candy.
Initially, Crave came forward to East Tennessee Children’s Hospital in hopes of hosting a fundraising event in the near future to support local kids in the community. However, when Crave’s team met Jaylen, it was a match made in heaven! Jaylen is now working alongside the design team, Brainchild Creative, to create the new castle. The castle will also have a plaque dedicating it to Jaylen. There’s no doubt her castle will make the rooftop course even more vibrant and fun! Jaylen’s castle will be completed this Fall, and it will be the sweetest addition to the foothills of the Smokies! After Jaylen’s private visit, Crave will open to the public and host a fundraiser for East Tennessee Children’s Hospital.
“We are super excited to work with Jaylen and Children’s Hospital,” said owner Chucky Blalock. “Crave is a family friendly attraction where everyone can feel like a kid again, and I can’t think of a better way to complement that than making a girl’s dreams a reality.”
