Event Leadership

2024 EVENT LEADERSHIP

The American Cancer Society Hope Lodge program provides a free home away from home for cancer patients and their caregivers. More than just a roof over their heads, it's a nurturing community that helps patients access the care they need. Each Hope Lodge community offers a supportive, homelike environment where guests can share a meal, join in the evening's activities, or unwind in their own private room. Everyone – no matter who they are or where they come from – deserves a fair and just chance to learn about, prevent, or fight cancer. 

Together, WE can fight cancer and support a home away from home in Cleveland.
