The American Cancer Society understands that undergoing treatment for cancer can be both financially and emotionally overwhelming. Getting the right care sometimes means that cancer patients must travel far from home, often to a cancer treatment facility in another city, adding the additional burden of transportation, hotel, and meal expenses.
Hope Lodge offers free, temporary housing for cancer patients and their families who are undergoing treatment. More than a place to stay, Hope Lodge is a home away from home, offering a comfortable and supportive environment for encouragement and healing.
This year the Career Achievement Program will be holding fundraisers and collecting donations to contribute to Hope Lodge located in New York City. The program also hopes to collect items from the lodge's wish list which will personally be donated. CAP looks forward to helping an organization that helps those in need.
