Hope Lodge Reduces Barriers to Cancer Care for Patients Who Travel Long Distance for Treatment

The third annual American Cancer Society Evening of Hope raises crucial funds for the future Hope Lodge Baltimore under construction at 635 W. Lexington Street across from the present 26-guest room Hope Lodge. The larger, reimagined, 34-guestroom Hope Lodge will provide 30% more lodging capacity and modern amenities for cancer patients who need to travel long distance to Baltimore for lifesaving cancer treatment. To construct the new Hope Lodge, a $10M Capital Campaign is underway, which needs approximately $150K to reach goal. See www.hopeishomebaltimore.org.

Evening of Hope will honor Danny Jones and Brian Kilby of Jones Junction for their generous philanthropic contributions that support the future Hope Lodge. The evening features live music, food stations, silent and live auctions, dancing, cancer survivor speakers, awards, and a “Hands Up for Hope” paddle raise for the capital campaign.

WHEN: Thursday, November 6, 2025, 6 - 9 p.m. VIP Reception at 5:30 p.m.

WHERE: Baltimore Museum of Industry, 1415 Key Highway, Baltimore, MD 21230

ABOUT HOPE LODGE: In 2024, Hope Lodge Baltimore, located at 636 W. Lexington Street, provided more than 13,000 free night stays to more than 500 cancer patients and their caregivers who travelled long distance to Baltimore for cancer treatment, saving them approximately $2.6M in hotel costs. With hotel rooms approximately $220 a night, the average Hope Lodge guest, who may stay four to eight weeks, saves approximately $10,000.

Hope Lodge Baltimore is one of 31 free Hope Lodge communities across the U.S. Housing is a major barrier to accessing cancer care for patients who need to travel far from home to receive the best possible treatment for their cancer. Nearly 38% of the U.S. population over age 35 would have to drive over 50 miles to obtain care at an NCI-funded cancer center, and almost 17% would have to travel 100 miles or more, according to a paper recently published in the Journal of Clinical and Translational Science.

Since 1984, Hope Lodge communities have provided more than 6 million nights of lodging, offering relief not only from the financial burden, but also a community of support at a challenging time.
