The American Cancer Society invites you to join us for the 2024 Champions of Hope Gala presented by Sandvold Financial Group and Summit Companies and hosted by our CEOs Against Cancer of Minnesota Chapter and the 2024 Executive Board. These business and community leaders are dedicated to saving lives by uniting to change the course of cancer and leveraging the collective knowledge, power, and resources of the American Cancer Society. This year’s Champions of Hope gala will be held on Friday, November 8th from 6:00-11:00pm at Renaissance Hotel Minneapolis, The Depot. Guests will experience a special evening including a cocktail reception, live and silent auctions, fully hosted food and beverage service, survivor testimonials, and an after party with live entertainment. You will also have the opportunity during our paddle raise to give directly to our two Hope Lodge locations in Minnesota – Minneapolis and Rochester – where cancer patients and their caregivers stay at no cost while undergoing lifesaving treatment.
American Cancer Society Hope Lodge® communities offer a home away from home for people facing cancer and their caregivers when cancer treatment is far away. Our 30+ Hope Lodge communities provide a free place to stay during treatment so people with cancer can focus on getting better. These communities provide comfortable guest suites with private baths, as well as inviting spaces with all the comforts of home, including a communal kitchen, dining area, laundry rooms, and places to gather or find a quiet respite – all at no cost to guests.
Hope Lodge guests don’t just find a place to stay – they find a community of support and an emotional connection with others facing the same journey.
For more than 10 decades, the American Cancer Society has been dedicated to pursuing better outcomes for every cancer, every life. Today, more people are surviving cancer than ever before, but there is still work to be done. Join us, support us, and help us end cancer as we know it, for everyone.
