ShowHope

A couple of dear friends of mine are on the committee for ShowHope, a premiere fundraising event for the American Cancer Society’s Hope Lodge, and have been incredibly busy preparing for the upcoming event on 8 October, 2009. Since opening their doors in 2007, Hope Lodge NYC has provided free housing and support services for over 2,500 cancer patients and their caregivers while receiving world-class treatment not readily available in their hometown. The American Cancer Society’s Hope Lodge relies entirely on private donations and grassroots fundraising efforts to sustain its programs.

Hope Lodge has teamed up with the Metropolitan Home Showtime House in Manhattan, a 13,000 square foot space, featuring the work of top interior designers from around the world that have been assigned one of the network's original series, and then given free reign to build each room around that show- including Dexter, Weeds, Californication, The Tudors, Nurse Jackie and United States of Tara. The event will feature a red carpet, silent auction and themed cocktails and hors d’oeuvres to complement each room’s décor. All net proceeds from ShowHope will directly support the programs and services of Hope Lodge NYC.

To make a silent auction donation or request sponsorship information, please email ShowHopeNYC@gmail.com. To purchase tickets (100% tax deductible), please email Lindsay.Edgar@cancer.org. Show up for ShowHope and feel good about helping others in need and truly making a difference. It will be an event that should not be missed!
