“The Hope Lodge is not just a building, it’s a home.” – Hope Lodge Guest and Survivor

We had a deeply impactful evening as the PTP team, including Ethan Simmons, Mike McElaney, Patrick McGillicuddy, Eric Ransden, and Hong Pun, along with the AWS MASS SMB team including RJ Grandpre, Christopher Loo, Dustin DiGregorio, Andrea Gallo, and John Murphy, served dinner to the incredible guests and their caregivers at the American Cancer Society’s Hope Lodge in Boston.

The highlight of the night was hearing the powerful stories of hope and resilience, with guests ringing the 🔔 to celebrate the completion of their treatment. It was a humbling experience to witness firsthand the tremendous work being done at Hope Lodge, and the deep gratitude expressed by those staying there truly touched our hearts.

We’re honored to have spent this evening alongside the American Cancer Society and the inspiring individuals they support. Giving back to our community and being part of this journey with ACS is a privilege we hold dearly.

Thank you to everyone who made this evening so special.
