Schulze Family Foundation Hope Lodge- Rochester, MN, providing free lodging for cancer patients at Mayo Clinic while undergoing lifesaving treatments. In 2023, we hosted over 1700 guests from 39 states for a total of 20,219 nights of lodging, saving cancer patients over $3 Million in lodging costs. Your support ensures Hope Lodge remains a beacon of hope. Thank you for helping us end cancer as we know it for everyone.
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.
