The Boston Key Gala is the American Cancer Society’s premier New England fundraiser supporting the Hope Lodge in Boston – a free home away from home for cancer patients and their caregivers traveling to Boston to receive lifesaving treatment. Since its opening in 2006, the Hope Lodge in Boston has saved an estimated $71 million in out-of-pocket expenses and provided over 20,000 nights of free lodging to over 800 patients & caregivers and over 6 million rides to and from treatment.
Join us on Friday, November 6th at the SoWa Power Station in Boston’s South End. We’re bringing top industry leaders and philanthropists together for an incredible night of culinary excellence, premier entertainment, and exclusive live auction–all to ensure everyone has access to lifesaving cancer care.
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
